I don't understand how guy code has anything to do with apparel choices. To me, guy code has more to do with respect and having your buddies back.

In my mind, such variations or shades of colors are for programming and graphics only. In reality, pink is pink.

Absolutely not. While at Anaconda, at the transient housing we stayed in between missions, I noticed a pretty built up soldier walking to the showers in a pink robe, pink house shoes and a pink towel. On the way back through I asked him why pink.

His response was beautiful:

"I chose pink because no one in the mail showers would want to steal them, and if they did, it damn sure ain't going to be hard to find them."

Just a thought.

I did the same thing on board ship with my towels. None of them ever got stolen, while my white towels continuously disappeared. No pink robe or shower shoes though..lol

Being a real man I do what I want within reason and boundaries but care a lot about my wife and what she thinks. Being the head of my family is important and it is important to present a positive example to my family. A single man may not be as concerned about that.

If anyone gives you grief about your pink clothes, hit them with your purse.

No... but purple is another matter.
The only men that can pull off purple properly is Prince and various sports teams...

Pink shirt goes well with a blue blazer and the right tie. Don't forget slacks, say grey.

I'll just say wearing pink violates my code. With that said I am color blind to a certain extent and always in danger of my wife buying something for me that will embarrass me later.
