How to Wear Pink: A Men's Style Guide

Millennial, blush or even faded salmon — however you refer to it, pink is continuing to have its moment. But, sadly, it's a colour criminally underrepresented in most men's wardrobes. This summer, pink is Fenwick's shade of the season, and we're giving you cause of how to add this flamboyant colour into your staple pieces. Brace yourself, we're coming over rosey. Wearing pink successfully can have great impact, giving you (and your outfit) personality, confidence and character — there's a reason why the love story between a navy blue suit and [pink Oxford shirt](https://www.fenwick.co.uk/men/clothing/shirts/casual-shirts/long-sleeve-linen-shirt/0000343598-LIGHTPINK.html) continues to reign supreme in modern power dressing. Not only is pink a preppy staple amongst workwear, it's also slipped effortlessly into streetwear in contemporary blush and muted variations, giving the colour a new life, and an elevated reputation. So isn't it about time pink got more of a look in in your everyday dressing option? Getting this bold, but beautiful colour right is all about how you style it, and having the confidence to pull it off. Whether you're keen to embrace a [fuchsia T-shirt](https://www.fenwick.co.uk/men/clothing/tops/t-shirts/pink3) or a [nude sweatshirt](https://www.fenwick.co.uk/men/clothing/sweatshirts-and-knitwear/pink3) is more your thing — take a look at our handsome styling of Fenwick's shade of the season.

#### The T-shirt It’s not for the faint hearted we’ll admit, but this bright fuchsia T-shirt by Tommy Jeans will certainly get you noticed. Make your look dapper with a slick navy [bomber jacket](https://www.fenwick.co.uk/men/clothing/coats-and-jackets) and neutral [shorts](https://www.fenwick.co.uk/men/clothing/trousers-and-shorts/shorts) or [trousers](https://www.fenwick.co.uk/men/clothing/trousers-and-shorts). Go on, be a little bold.

#### The Sweatshirt Okay, so it’s not bright pink, but this nearly nude [sweatshirt](https://www.fenwick.co.uk/men/clothing/sweatshirts-and-knitwear/sweatshirts) is an easy way to tick off the trend without taking a huge leap of faith. For contemporary cool, add effortless [stonewash jeans](https://www.fenwick.co.uk/men/clothing/jeans) and tonal [khaki accessories](https://www.fenwick.co.uk/men/bags).

#### The Shorts If you're opting for a brighter bottom half, best to keep it more minimal on top.
