Oh yeah, not what I would recommend for gay men or straight men! Those pants belong to a little girls bedroom somewhere as curtains, not pants!

Aaaaaaaaaaaand, I was wearing pink socks today The first guy pointed that out even, as I was oatmealing in the cafeteria. He was like, "dude, you are even wearing pink socks"



However I shrugged it off and continued to eat, and he left.

oookay. Uh the pink shirt is fine but pink socks? Yeah that's crossing the line.

I know! I'm still kind of speechless and hoping it's a joke. Most women don't even match socks with their shirts!

They have tons of rules on haircuts, the type of shirts, how far your pants can fall on the shoes, the colour of the tie and even them, socks

In this particular incident, I wasn't wearing white or black socks with the white shirt. I never made a mismatch ever since.

Considering it's mostly white shirts most of the week, considering meetings and other stuff, the few days I get to wear coloured shirts, I improvise on the same rule, same colour of socks.
Please tell me you don't wear white socks to work. White socks are only for gym shoes. I don't care if your shirt is hot pink with rainbows and unicorns on it, but PLEASE NO WHITE SOCKS WHY GOD WHY??!

LOL Thanks for the warning. But match your socks to your pants.

Ditto. I think pink shirts are sexy on guys.

I bought a pink shirt for the spouse, and he just cocked his eyebrow at me warily. I said "Just wear it," and dang if he didn't like it too. Once it was on, he liked the way it looked on him.

I never had anything pink, but bought a pink tie and ended up getting a lot of compliments. Far more than my others.

I'll still say no to the socks, though.

Pink looks really good on some guys. A pink dress shirt is no different than a blue or a yellow one in my eyes.

Re: socks. Matching, yikes, but I have always liked guys who are wearing a really conservative grey suit with a white shirt or similar, but then you see that they're wearing red or green socks with it. It's just a hint of subversion.

A pink tie is nice, too! Just maybe not with a pink shirt.

But maybe with a pink skirt ... LOL
