only wearing pink “ironically” or because “chicks dig it.”

As a straight guy who has several pink shirts and is, in fact, wearing one right now (I guess salmon is more acurate but still) you just gotta have it broken up because it's such a loud color, and in a style that works with it and you.

Example: the one I'm wearing now is a pink & gray plaid pearl-snap western shirt. The only comments anyone has ever made about it have been that it looks good on me, same thing with the purple shirts I've got.

Fishing shirts are another style that look good in vibrant colors and I've got a pink polo with gray stripes as well.

OTOH: a pink shirt with a very feminine cut (even if unintentional) or improperly sized isn't going to look good and will get a different response.

I appreciate the advice, and that sounds like a totes fab shirt you're wearing.

I think part of it is that early in life, I wore a pink tuxedo to a wedding. It was fabulous. But one of the "manly" men there made fun of me, and my gut reaction was to laugh it off and just say it was to impress the women. I think that experience put it into my mind that wearing pink wasn't for me; it was for the ladies. 🙄

Nowadays, the only person I try to impress with my clothes is myself.
