Historically, pink was a more prominent boy's/men's color and blue was a more prominent girl's/women's color. That changed at some point in the first third of the 1900s, but it is entirely just a cultural norm and not any sort of "code" issue.
Pink is still a good color for some combinations; a pink dress shirt and pink patterned-socks can look great in a dark suit, for example. And remember, pink is just a softer variation of red, which is considered a power-color.

You are funny, most men look nice in pink. If you do the research pink used to be a boys color!

It is meant to be a fun thread. I knew that, by the way beforehand. You're also the third to state that.

Wearing pink doesn't violate the man code, I don't wear pink often, but when I do I wear it well, stay pink my friend.... you see what I did there lol.

A manly man is a manly man in anything. Your self-confidence says it all.

SGT (Join to see) I wore a pink shirt/tie my wife bought me to work one day and was "chastised" by one man about it. I told him, "When I wear a pink shirt, all the ladies tell me how nice it looks. When you wear a pink shirt, it answers a lot of people's questions about you." That shut him up... :-)

SGT (Join to see) pink used to be the color of choice for male babies. I live in Florida, you cannot escape pink. It is everywhere. Beyond that, pink is the color that has become associated with breast cancer awareness. As a red blooded, heterosexual, man, I love breasts. I am all for raising awareness of something out to destroy them.

I could care less what others think. I have always wore it. But it took on a whole other meaning when my mother was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I wear it now and it makes me think of how she was diagnosed and how she kicked Cancers butt and is still cancer free to this day and how many other women are suffering from the same thing. Reminds of what is important in life.

I'll have to go with Col Jeff Neely. Some guys can pull it off and some can't. Wearing pink I think doesn't violate the guy code, don't get me wrong. I'm talking about a shirt or a pair of shorts and not at the same time. Wearing all pink definitely violates that code.
