You don't need a reason to wear pink any more than you need a reason to wear blue, other than it looks good...

you’re not comfortable with your sexuality

^^ I sometimes wonder what might have been if I left my purple jacket in its original pink incarnation. I'd probably have been happier with a paler pink rather than pastel, much like your model

You're right, you don't 'need' a reason, but people still have reasons.

I think this is an Eastern European thing, I worked with a Polish girl (also mental haha) who went to great lengths to point out that I looked 'gay' anytime I wore pink or purple. That said her wardrobe was limited almost exclusively to black, grey and olive green.

As for the colour, I have a Mediterranean olive complexion, so hell yeah, I'm wearing pink all day, although I limit myself to really pale pinks.

I have one pink shirt. I don't think the colour flatters my pasty complexion all that well.

I wear pink frequently. I have a lot of ties that are some comination of blue or pink, and one that is a nice chocolate brown with little blue and pink in it. I wear pink shirts, including dress shirts, oxfords and polos. I don't wear pink daily, but I wear it quite frequently.

I frequently wear pink button down shirts. Looks great with dark color jackets and/or trousers.

Quick question, why not bright or vibrant pinks? That goes for any who wear pink, but only pale or pastel.
