    Pink t-shirts on blokes... wrong or what?

    Now thats summer's been and gone, been noticing a serious increase in the amount of blokes wearing pink t-shirts and shirts. Am I showing my age, but in my day jeez id be laughed out of town if i even considered wearing one. So people, wrong or not? (unless your a Palermo FC fan or a cyclist for the T-Mobile team in the Tour de France)....

    pink shirts are a sign of management or that you want to become a manager. pa wears them all the time.

    pink tshirts are the new metrosexual thing to be wearing, its no longer gay but actually metro, and if you are metro you are cool

    i think it all evolved from the stupid indie look of the 90's to be honest.

    And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
    I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
    Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away

    IMHO, totally wrong unless your a hairdresser!
    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

    Spot with the metrosexual bit. As long as it doesnt have certain compnay names across the front of it I dont mind them. Some blokes can get away with it, some just cant.

    ah pauro, you dont need to wear a pink tshirt to look like that

    id say you would look well though with a blonde streak in your hair and a pink tshirt if you went back home.

    its just wrong plain wrong , the guys that wear them think it makes them look cool and stand out from the norm , but if you have to try that hard to be cool then you aint !!it shows a complete lack of imagineation when you just copy the trend .

    pink shirts should go also this chicken run hair cut thats in fasion should get the door too . wearing wristbands because of the colour not to support a charity

    You think that's bad - I bought two T shirts with a full jungle scene on the front and back - check out Sunshinejoy.com and clothing to see it. LOL


    http://www.sunshinejoy.com

    Look for African Rainforest - that's the one I have LOL

    Click on clothing - it's the t shirt on the left.

    Thumbs down

    Personally I don't like them on guys, i suppose they can wear what they want, and anything goes these days. But it looks very gay to me, but sure some men's hairstyles look gay to me, i find it hard to tell the difference nowadays. If my boyfriend or any of my brothers were wearing a pink t-shirt, I would tell them it looks awful, and looks very gay, actually i've never seen them wear pink and if they ever do, they'll get stripped! Suppose it's cos i don't like pink myself, i never wear it, i prefer purple/green/brown/lilac/black/white. Pink, yuck! It's nice on some girls, but i think i am too white to wear pink.

    So, my answer is, it's not wrong, but it looks bloody awful IMHO....

    Dont have any but have no problem with them,if girls can wear dark colours why cant lads wear bright colours?You have to be careful wearing them in certain parts of the country,where the locals aren't exactly metro lets say.I know a fella who got his nose broken for wearing one,having said that i also saw a fella in a pink t-shirt absolutely kill some culchie who taught he'd have a go
    If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

    I think pink shirts with tie are ok but pink t-shirts wouldn't be my thing.

    Paul, I think you'll find that I wear what I like.
    Never once woke up in the morning and thought, 'I can't wear that. Paul wouldn't approve.'
    It's only a colour on a garment, ffs.

    You really need to get over the whole gay thing.
    Men spent decades not taking care of their health and looks for fear people like you would accuse them of being gay.
    The metrosexual male is here so get used to it.

    Pink T-shirts are gay imo. I expect to see people waving their gay tifo flags with them too.

    Pink work shirts are for wánkers - or consultants if you want to give them their proper name. Also for dicks aka the HR Department...

    If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.

    I'll recall that when I pull on a pink shirt next Monday morning and strut around like Gods gift.
    Oh sorry, I forgot, this is London and only people like PAURO 7 actually give a shít!

    Quite a few of the lads in the office wear pink shirts/jumpers/T-shirts. think it comes down to the style and your confidence. They all look good in them It gets my vote

    I've no problem with it tbh - if they want to look like they're taking part in a Pride Parade, that's their look out.
