Do most women dislike pastels on men?

[claystevens]

Women at my location hate pastels men.

Idk OP I once wore a lavender suit with a matching lavender hat and shoes and I got lots of attention from women.

I'm not dyslexic, but it is funny when a question can take on a whole different tone with one letter switch and a transposition:
Do most women dislike pasties on men? [I like word play - but, I bet somewhere in the CD digital ether it may have been a question ]

Ok, in all seriousness the color of clothing is a matter of what a few prior posters mentioned: hair color, skin color/tone, build of the individual, quality of the fabric, etc... as jamiecta, ralph_kirk, and others mentioned.

I have purple, blue, green, beige pastels. I'm white and I tan well (southern eastern euro skin) with light eyes - the blue / green complements me (as my fashionable sisters expressed to me in my youth). I've had pink shirt back in the day, but it didn't look good. The dark saturated reds/indigo look better. Same reason why brown, tan and beige most often look poorly on dark skinned peoples. I imagine if there really are 'grey alien people' they'd look poorly in shades of grey .

Being in northern climate the pastels do seem to stand out more than if one was in southern sunbelt areas where the pastel color schemes are more prevalent.

To sheena12's point re: socio economic or cultural I'd agree. Certain groups tend to wear pastels more often but in different contexts.

Leisure pastel sport / dress clothing conjures up images of:

"Hey, Todd, how about a few games of tennis?"
"Not today Hugh, I 'm taking the boat out"
"Do you think Baldwin and Carlisle would be up for it?"
"No they're at the polo tournament in Derbyshire"
"What about Max and Randolph?"
"They're playing 18 holes of golf"

In the upper socioeconomic groups, an expensive pastel may pass while a cheap example attempting the same color will fail...not because it's pastel but because cheap pastel looks worse than a cheap deep color.

Because cheap pastel looks faded?

Where'd you hear that?

I don't really care what color shirts a guy wears, but pastels do complement certain skin tones.

It really depends on the guy wearing it. Generally I like men who wear dark clothes, it makes them look more dangerous and sinister.

[AmberPulson]

I do. I’m into preppy style so yeah..
Except if it doesn’t really suit him.

OP, I've heard this also from many women including some friends of mine. Personally, I think it can work for or against the dude. It really depends on how he carries himself.
