 5 WAYS TO MASCULINISE THE COLOUR PINK

For the longest time, it has always been believed that pink is for girls while blue for boys. As kids, when absolutely anything was to be shared, we already knew what belongs to whom based on the colours of the items. Mothers never made the mistake of buying pink shoes for their male kids for the fear of loud, unending wails. Over two decades later, this myth still stands firm. Baby showers are organised and during the gender reveal of the baby, blue is used to signify a male child and pink, for a girl child.

Let us not even start to talk about the stereotype of guys that wear pink being either gay or very uncertain about their sexuality. The colour pink is such a beautiful colour to have these too many restrictions placed on it.

 For men who love pink but really unsure about how to go about wearing it, here are five ways to rock and own the colour.

Right before we delve into that, here is something important to note. Pink just like any other colour, comes in different shades that match different skin tones. For a light complexioned man, a deeper shade of pink would work best for you. On the opposite side, a pastel or pale pink compliments darker skin tones.

5 WAYS TO WEAR PINK

A pink shirt with a pair of dark coloured chinos( grey, black, blue)

2. A pink tshirt with a pair of blue jeans or black jeans

  3.   The owambe look

4. A pink hoodie. It is very key to note that this tip would only work for a single man with no sisters or female friends.

  5. A pair of pink shorts with a very nice Tshirt. Preferably bue, grey, black coloured tshirts.

So hey, what are you waiting for? Add a pink attire to your wardrobe, rock it so well that it defies the pink-is-for-girls myth.
