I love pink! Pink tops, pink skirts, pink leggings, pink dresses, pink shoes, ? I?ve even got some pink cargo pants. I wear the cargo pants in male mode. I also have a pink velour track suit that I wear in male mode. And let?s not forget pink nail polish, pink lipstick and pink eye shadow. And the Aerosmith song ?Pink? and Alecia Moore-Hart, AKA ?Pink!?.
I started to like pink when being already advanced in collecting more and more female clothes. It may happen to me to buy male T-shirts in different colors including pink.
Yes, I find myself wearing a decent amount of pink! Not because it necessarily makes me feel more feminine, but it seems to work with my complexion well.
I've always loved pink. I have some dresses that incorporate pink in a pattern such as floral. I have lots of undergarments (bra, panty, slips) and nighties in pink. When I was still working I never wore a solid white dress shirt to work but I did wear, along with other colors, pink dress shirts.
I have bought many pink pieces over the years from thrifts. Only to discover that there r 100+ shades of pink. So, none of my pink clothes match!:doh:
not anything I've ever given any thought to....I guess I gravitate towards earth tones
I love pink and other bright colors but only in my male wardrobe. When I read these posts about doomed males not having any choice of colored clothes I really wonder where the OPs buy their clothes. My female wardrobe is all dark, gray, white, and a couple colored items with dark shades of burgundy and blue. My MIAD wardrobe, as it should, stands in a middle ground.
Not necessarily, pink although I certainly have a number of pink and pink adjacent colors in my wardrobe. I do seem to be attracted to pastels, generally. And as a female friend once observed, “You’re one of the few guys who look good in pastels.”
I have matching pink clothes.
Not pink for me, but I definitely tend towards lavender.
I doubted that I was alone and appreciate the feedback. After I posted this morning I was wearing a woman's pink hoodie. It's as long as some of the short dresses my wife wore in high school. Medium blue yoga pants. I walked through the room where my wife was sitting. She told me "I love that color!" Followed by "It looks good on you" . It was a rare affirmation.
I have many pink male items that I work into the rotation. Polos. T shirts. Dress shirts. I've gotten weird comments when wearing pink men's shirts in drab. That really surprised me.
I once had a lot of Pink underware when a red shirt got Mixed up in the Laundry, I thought they looked Nice
I think pink is a great colour for lingerie. I have a few pink bras and slips. I also have some pink dresses. Very relaxing colour.
As a male I always get compliments when wearing red, so opting for pink in my (ever expanding) feminine wardrobe was an obvious choice. Now the tide is even spilling over the other way - I have pink polos and tees in my (shrinking) male closet as well.
Love pink, you are not alone.
That's part of the fun... just gotta keep buying till you get it right...Quote:

I would not say I am drawn to pink, but I try to incorporate it in my male and female dressing, and I do like it. My favorite colors are blues and greens, so I am drawn to them more so. But I do like wearing pink, and it gives me the space to feel femme even when I am in male mode. As we have all said before, men's clothes are boring, so adding color does add pizzazz. For those who do not get the time or space to dress femme, find a nice pink male shirt. Wear it in October especially to show your support for Breast Cancer Prevention.
I do like pink but it's got to be the right kind of pink. In more drawn to the soft pinks - light/pastels.
I've never been drawn to it. For the past many years my male and female clothes tend to be black, or something mixed with black. Not for it's somberness, it's just what I think I look best in.
I was both amazed and amused several years ago when I overheard some joking between guys directed at one of them who had pink in the pattern on his socks, like this was some kind of homosexual bat signal!
Pink socks probably not pink bra almost every time. I needed a lighter a while back and the gas station had them locked away. I told the clerk what I needed and mentioned that any color or patter is fine. She smiled and said then you get the pink one?and I replied Ooo embarrassing.
Funny this just happened today. I went to Shabbat services this morning with my friend at my local synagogue. I am an active member, and they all only know the male mode of me, although I have been thinking about sharing this part of me (another thread for sure). Anyway, I decided to wear an eggplant colored dress shirt (standard button down, solid color with a collar). I got at least 4 compliments on the shirt! Felt good to receive a compliment in male clothes. One woman complimented me afterwards said, we should have more men wearing bright and bold colors, but they feel too inhibited. If she only knew.:o
I have acquired a number of colorful T shirts, many of them pink and variations thereof, that I wear as undershirts under my drab clothes. Often with a matching hair tie on my ponytail, and often with drawers that match.
A few years back we were doing low-voltage cabling and other IT work at new dollar store construction sites. My wife would help. I got matching hot pink T shirts for us to wear, so we could easily spot each other among the other tradies, many of whom wear yellow high-vis shirts. She wouldn't wear hers.
I have read that in the early 20th century and prior, pink was the "boys' color" and blue was for girls. Not sure why that flipped.
I love pink, don't have nearly enough pink items in my wardrobe, but what I do have make me smile every time, there is just something lovely and feminine about a soft pink for me
I love pink panties. I wish Vanity Fair would offer their lace nouveau style in pink.
I have pink and hot pink in both men's and women's. As Doc noted, I can put on 3 pink things thinking they'll match, and they're all different pinks (grrr). The hot pinks seem easier to match than the pastels.
I've gone to work (construction) wearing both pink and hot pink racerback tanks with matching socks, the only comments I've ever gotten was if my socks and shirt match (regardless of color, apparently that's truly a girl thing!), but no one seems to mind the pinks. Of course, at work I'm wearing cut-off jean shorts instead of matching schoolgirl miniskirts (I wish!)
I do like pink. But it comes in second to the lovely pastel shades of purple - lilac, lavender, etc.
I have a great bright pink sweater (jumper) that looks great with my denim skirts or jeans. I have a fancy(ish) top with pink in the pattern that I wore with a pink fascinator to a tea party. I have some pink socks. I LOVE pink! This inspires me to get some pink tights for the coming cold weather.
Bea, I have any number of pink shirts that I wear to the office.
Yes! I am definitely drawing to the color pink. It represents absolute femininity. We are programmed to think this way from birth?blue is for boys and pink is for girls.
As teenagers in the 80?s pink Polo and Izod shirts were popular and acceptable for men and boys, I couldn?t do it, my programming was too strong.( I did have a pink skinny tie)
Fast forward to the crossdressing me, I have several pink panties, tights/stockings, garter belt, bras, skirts, blouses, couple of dresses and bathrobe
I remember women swooning over Robert Redford wearing a pink suit in the movie The Great Gatsby made in 1974. He looked great.
Pink looks good on everyone.
Char,
Yeah, Miami Vice and that time period included a lot of pink and pastels. Pink isn't exclusively feminine, but there's a sense of liberation in claiming it in and out of it's fashion seasons. That won't make sense to those who haven't felt a need to camouflage in 'male' colors.
I absolutely adore pink lips and nails, but my bras, stockings and heels remain black.
I love wearing my pink panties.
The first time an ex-girlfriend and I had sex, she put a pair of her panties on me for a bit of fun. She had no idea at the time that I was a CDer. The panties were plain cotton with a little bow at the front, and they were pink.
I wore them the entire next day, with her permission.
Since that time, pink panties have been special to me - and I have always bought and owned at least one pair of plain cotton, pink panties.
Holly, that experience would certainly burn that memory and desire into ones soul. I can certainly see why you would keep a pair ever after. I know I would do the same!
Yep, I agree re: the lips & nails. Blush on the cheeks. Things like that.Quote:

I do like pairing it with black, though. :battingeyelashes: :thumbsup:
Yes, Pink is a special color, powerfully feminine and forbidden for men.
I have a beautiful pink dress that I wear with super soft pink panties, matching bra and half slip.
Wonderful joy, indeed....
@il.dso
I don't know where you live, but pink is not a forbidden color for men. They sell pink shirts for men where I live in the US. I've seen them on display in Europe.
If a man chooses not to wear a certain color because he thinks it's "forbidden", that is really their preference, but it's not forbidden.
Sadly only a few pink items in my catalog. I am fairly light skinned and am now wearing my hair in natural color which is grey/white. The pink color is overpowering in my opinion. I do like it but not my best look.
I'm a diver and much of my dive gear is hot pink. Fins, rash guards, BCD (diving vest), and many accessories. I'm very easy to spot underwater
Yes, agree, forbidden is not the right word. Thanks for the correction from char GG above.
About a hundred years ago, pink was for boys and blue was for girls. Then, for some reason it switched. Pink used to be considered a very masculine color, because it was the color of blood. (Perhaps people were anemic in those days.)
I used to wear all black to the dentist. When the dental technician commented on it, I mentioned that I had a lot of pink outfits as well. She challenged me to show up in pink next time I came in. Of course, all of my pink outfits were skirts, tops and dresses. I considered showing up in a pink dress, but I eventually settled for a pink velour track suit. She was suitably impressed.
Oh yeah, prettytoes, sometimes visibility is important. My phone cover is hot pink. Everyone else in my household has a black phone cover. They are always looking for their phones. Not me. The hot pink cover is easily visible all the way across the room.
Cynthia, I was thinking about that very same thing. How pink used to be a man?s color. Now its hard to imagine. How easily society can dictate such things.
Personally as a CD, I do love pink as well. Of course like most or all colors, the variations are many. Hot, dark, magenta, I love most of them. They are not predominant in my fem wardrobe however as there is so much color to choose from in woman?s clothes. Oh sure there is some in men?s clothes, but you really have to search it out.
I even have a pink purse. I have not dared wear it in drab mode as of yet however, unlike the black or brown ones. Not quite there yet for me.
I like colorful clothes, but pink is just one among many.
I bought clothes of many colours and pink is simply one of them.

more and more lately.
not sure why.

When I told my wife about my dressing, for whatever reason she refused to buy me anything pink. I don't know if her seeing me in a white bra or a pink bra made a difference. I guess pink is much more feminine. The surprising thing was a few months later she buys me a pink bra and panties set.
