subject: Men's Fashion: A New Trend For Pink [print this page] As the world is moving ahead, differences between both the genders that were created because of the elements, such as colors, have been diminishing. As the fashion industry has promised to provide some modification or improvement at some time or another, this time it has provided the men fashion industry with a pink instant. The challenging task for men at this time is to handle the color in such a way that it doesn't influence their masculine image.
The demarcation between the two genders done by the pink color is no more there. Nowadays, pink has become a color representing both the genders and has lost the ultra-feminine touch that it once had.
However, one just has to remember to wear this color at the best time to create one's own perception of elegance and know how to carry it suitably. The runways of various fashion shows, done by many known fashion houses, such as Calvin Klein, Bottega Veneta etc. were oversupplied by pink in utmost flamboyant presentations. Pink was included in everything starting from pink shirts to cardigans, printed tees, ties and even handbags.
The males of the 21st era have been regarded as the trend setters and teachers in showing how to espouse this non-typical and the so called womanly color. Furthermore, pink is now being used as a differentiator of men from boys. The real men are considered as the ones wearing pink. In many countries across the globe, wearing pink is just like wearing normal colors such as black or white.
It's not like wearing something out of blue as the culture allows use of pink color for both the genders and not just one. For instance, in Thailand pink is a color used by both genders tremendously. Males and females can both be spotted wearing pink colored printed polo shirts, jackets and blazers. Similarly, many European men, such as the French men, have also been using this color since many years.
The linkage between females and this color is so stout that it becomes difficult to accept men wearing this color. Some accept this as true that wearing this color has the repercussion of transforming the outlook of even the hard-hitting man into that of a laid back, carefree gentleman. Also it's seen as adding a gentle side to the masculine image of a man. However, slowly it's being converted into an impartial classic color that has the flexibility to blend with the other shades and also the compatibility with almost all kind of skin tones.
Wearing pink is not a problem for males but one should know how to carry it well. It can either be worn in amalgamation with other colors, or can be a part of one's wardrobe in form of pink ties, cufflinks, or even a belt. Pink is a color just like any other color. It's our perception that has given it a ladylike image that men are afraid of being associated with.
