The guys may be clueless, but women notice, and appreciate, pink.

Do you think it's still like that though? It's become so common in the summer months I see it as almost a blue in terms of 'normalness'.

But I'm a guy, so maybe I am clueless. Could be right.

I actually think the guys notice, but most guys I know are reluctant to comment and especially reluctant to compliment another guy.

Two pink shirts - one solid Oxford and one check
Ties - one solid pink, a couple more with pink stripes in them
Rugby top that is sort of between pink and plum

Would like to get a pink jumper one day.

I own something pink in almost everything I would normally wear. Shirts, ties, pocket squares, sweaters, tees, trousers, scarves, braces, socks, boxers, belts, cuff links, shoes. Pink pin/rope/bead stripes are on my list for suits, as are tweeds with pink overpanes or the sort, and rose linen.

Pardon me, but I've never gotten how clothing has to do with where one goes for education. It's not like anyone here says, "Oh, you must be a UF man judging by your hoodies and jeans!!!" Perhaps I'm missing something. Oh, and I own a pink spread collar shirt.

My reply was a direct reference to a character's comment in the Great Gatsby. If you've read the book, you'll know it's entirely consistent with the shallowness of the characters therein (if you haven't, read it; it's a wonderful book).

Do I personally believe you can judge one's education by clothing? No. But there are trends. But anyone can don any outfit. Learning to carry yourself correctly in said outfit takes more time though, but is equally acheivable by anyone.
