I am wearing pink right now, but that is definitely not my style or shade. I wish I had Saifs physique though.

The last thing I would want my husband to wear is a sleeveless vest in baby pink. Its a colour that looks good only on women. My husband does own a couple of pink shirts, but in darker shades like strawberry pink or plum, and with embellishments that give it depth. When I am on holiday with him, I want him to look macho, not feminine in a pink T-shirt. Saif may look cool wearing this, but how many women really want their men to look like that?

Id wear a ganji in that shade if I had the body. I have a pink shirt in my closet, and its no big deal for a man. I think it looks nice. Why should a colour be restricted to one sex? Girls wear blue!

Id like my son to wear baby pink, but he thinks it is too sissy a colour. I think it looks nice.

I would never wear that shade, ever! Pink is so girlie.

I dont see any reason why men shouldnt wear colours women do. My husband wears shirts in baby pink and they look good on him. I am sure a vest would too.

Heres a mens wear brand that calls itself Pink!

Thomas Pink is based in Londons Jermyn Street and creates fine, luxury shirts and accessories for men and women. The brand has an interesting history. In the 18th century, Thomas Pink made the best hunting coats money could buy. The expression in the pink originates from the pride that English gentlemen took from wearing one of Pinks coats.

It was revived in the 1980s by three pioneering brothers with a simple yet unique formula: To sell the essentially classic product of luxury Jermyn Street shirts to a new generation of consumers. Today, Pink has become an international success story with stores in the UK, US, Europe and Far East.
