Pink Belly, Pink Belly..





Working in menswear I come across a lot of customers with a fear of stepping outside of their usual sartorial comfort zone. One major fashion fear a lot of guys have is colour, which recently got me thinking about the colours I tend to avoid. 

Some international cuisines can look a little intimidating, even off-putting at first, but life would be so boring if we just stuck with meat & two veg. That's exactly, I realised, how I felt about wearing pink. 

Italian menswear masters Nicola Ricci and Andrea Luparelli both share similar natural tones to me and I admire their style, so it's to them I looked to, to see what shade of pink might work best for me. The answer - soft pink, almost light musk. 

As an entree, I tried a simple shirt and and got a taste for the tone. Slowly but surely it's now safe to say I'm no longer scared to wear pink and mix it into my everyday wardrobe. Don't be a yellow belly, step outside your comfort zone and add some spice to your wardrobe.
