Men in Pink

Re: Men in Pink

Did you also wear a white jacket with the sleeves up with those low cut shoes (almost sandals) with no socks.

No - didn't quite go the full Don Johnson. You could get your head kicked in for that round our way.

I do remember cutting up an old T-shirt to show off my navel (like cropped tops that girls wear these days). Thankfully I never made it out of the house with it on. It was a very confusing time.

Without a doubt, Miami Vice set the trends for how you chose your "going out" clothes. Mine was a pink Le Shark T-shirt that I wore with beige chino trousers. I think I might have worn the shirt with the collars up.

By the way, you look like a really young Tom Hanks in that pic! Apart from the hairdo! Am I right or am I right, DYR posse?

Actually he really does look like Tom Hanks.

And pink has been a perfectly acceptable color for men's dress shirts for about 5 years. Why, there's even a well-respected chain of shops that sells hardly anything but pink shirts.

When I was a kid I used to dream of having enough money to buy a real pastel colored Pringle sweater. Had to make do with knock-offs.

Thanks,

The nearest I've been compaired to Tom Hanks was by my ex-girlfriend, used to joke that I was like Forrest Gump in some ways.

Here we go, the other fashion faux pas is my hairdo which my brother used to call the "beefburger" style as it looked like a burger in a bun on my head.

My sister stopped wearing the outfit she's in after my Aunt claimed it made her look like one of the Spice Girls.

In the last few days I spotted quite a few men in pink shirts.

Re: Men in Pink

I'm 41 and can honestly say i've never owned any item of clothing that is pink, even as a baby. The only thing I own that is Pink is Get this party startd on CD single.

Re: Men in Pink

I have a couple of pinkish shirts, which normally wear with something on top of.

Re: Men in Pink

Yeah I remember that well!!! Lemon and light blue were also popular with lads too. I had a really 'nice' lemon cardigan that I wore my pink Lacoste polo shirt under. Thought I looked great! Much to my dads horror!

It sound's like Adam Hart-Davis's cycling outfit when he was on Local Heroes.
