Appropriate to wear pink in florida?

[mrbowtie]

I will be attending a wedding on February 29th in Florida and was thinking about about wearing a robin's egg blue gingham shirt with pink and white polka dot bow tie and grey double-stripe MTM Armani suit. I realize this is a very spring-y look, but is it appropriate for almost Spring in Florida? Normally, I would wait for Spring to dust off the pastels, but this damn cold weather is making me yearn for the warmer temperatures.

Honestly, Florida is a free-for-all when it comes to fashion. You'll probably be fine.

Sounds bright! I like it!

Flamingos do it.

"Winter" in Miami and the southern part of the continent make me wonder why stupid rules about light colours in winter even exist. Miami right now is about as warm as June and September here.

I think you'd be laughed out of the state if you didn't wear pastels.

Wedding in florida = no dress code. Someone will wear a Hawaiian shirt and sandals, you know it. A pink bowtie is fine.

As a former resident of Florida for over twenty years, yes, you can wear pink. Bright colors and pastels are very welcome in the Sunshine state.

Must agree, I was in the Keys back in June and I couldn't believe what I saw, wasn't pretty.

Is that where your pic is from?

Isn't pink like the official color of Florida?

I would say it's fine, those colors complement each other well. As long as the tie is not a hot pink or something. One thing you want to be aware of is that what you are wearing dose no distract from the wedding party. That is one thing that is rude and disrespectful to do, otherwise I say go for it.

It also depends where in Florida the wedding will be. I used to live in north-central Florida and used to get stared at and receive comments if I wore a pink shirt ("it takes a real man to wear pink" etc.)

There is no 29 Feb this year...

Isn't florida equal to all white suit and pink tie? That's what I thought anyway.

...oh, alligator shoes too!
