Re: Your feelings on men wearing 'feminine' colors

My husband actually wouldn't wear purple but he wears this 'rose' colored shirt (I call it rose, he calls it red, it's rose

) and it's probably the only 'feminine' colored shirt he has. I don't really care for him in it. I think he looks better in black

I think I'm going to just give it a shot and buy him a shirt and see what he says. If he doesn't like it, too bad!

Okay, this is weird, but if he has blue eyes, he'll probably look really good in those colors, so maybe he'll be persuaded?

Mr Boots refuses those colors because they just don't flatter him (he's got brown eyes). And he's such a fashionista!

No, he doesn't have blue eyes. They're actually gold. And he has medium-colored skin so that's why I was thinking that a color like peach would look good on him (but not on some chez whitey!)

GOLD!? creeeeepy!

He's like a cat!

I think the light eyes are key, so cat's-eye boy should be okay!

and word on the whitey! I don't do pink... I'm too pale!

I had to ease DH into them. He's more into conservative 'power' dress. (reds and blues)
So I started him out with a light purple tie, and he's worn it a few times with a white shirt.

I think I might move him up a step to a purple shirt, and possibly a pink tie.

Pink...ok...I do have to say it depends on the guy. Now, My FH is a big, broad guy and well,.........him in pink!

Yup...that was a mental thought of him in pink.

LadyL's man can/could wear pink. I could see it. See it all depends on the man.

Yeah, they're gold! I've never seen an eye color like it.

And cat boy - yuck! I think I would shat myself if I woke up one morning next to this:

My DH is pretty broad (that's why all his dress shirts and suits are custom made) and I think pink looks hot on him.

It's how the man wears it...meaning confidence, not build.

Oh he's CONFIDENT but chooses not to wear pink on his MASSIVE build........matter of opinion.
Like I said....depends on the man.

See, now based on your profile photo, I think your guy would wear pink well. I'm not trying to insult you or your man, but he would definitely carry a pink dress shirt or polo well! In fact, he's got great coloring for it!!!

Yea...True...I just dont see him wanting to do it. Thats why I laugh at the situation.
Hes got that 'macho' I dont wear pink attitude!

FH looks so HOT in 'feminine' colors...he pulls them off really well...

I don't see why men should feel akward wearing these colors...alot of men look good in these shades...

Re: Your feelings on men wearing 'feminine' colors

Icould deal with a purple dress shirt under a grey or black suit, or those colors in a tie.....but NOT in a regular shirt for Rich. And even if I liked it, he would NEVER wear it
