Pastel-Perfect: Pink looks for men to rock this season

While associated with femininity for the past century (or two), the colour pink was actually at a point in time a shade designated for the boys. Once considered a ‘warlike colour’ due to its association with the red colour family, pink was known for its masculinity and brutishness rather than the softer state its associated with presently. However, pink appears to be making a comeback with the chaps as luxury fashion houses such as Dior seem to have embraced it with open arms in their latest men’s collections.

Gafencu’s editorial team has put together our favourite pink looks for men to strut this summer, whether they want to appear feminine, masculine or just be free of all stereotypes.
