Color's place in male wardrobes expands

• Sweaters: A pink crew-neck cashmere sweater paired with dark trousers is a classy look.

• Dress shirts: Pink dress shirts can be worn with suits, under sweaters or on their own with trousers or jeans. A pink dress shirt breathes new life into suits.

• Suits and trousers: Spring and summer are the ideal times to wear pink suits and trousers that are made from seersucker or light cotton.

• Accessories and T-shirts: If you can’t commit to a more substantial item in pink, start small with ties, T-shirts or hats.

Still think pink is just for girls? Think again.

“I don’t have a male customer who wouldn’t wear a pink tie,” said Bruce Baird, owner of Bruce Baird & Co., a men’s clothing store in downtown Chattanooga. “More and more men are becoming open to wearing pink, even men I didn’t think would wear it.”

Pink for men hit a peak in the 1980s, led by Izod knit shirts. Its popularity ebbed for a while, but now the color is coming back strong, Baird said. His store stocks linen pants, dress shirts, knit shirts, shorts, underwear and ties in various shades of pink.

The website mensfashion.about.com says wearing pink can make a man appear confident.

Local attorney Keith Black, 42, agrees. He said he has been wearing pink since the 1980s. He even wore a pair of hot-pink 501 Levi’s jeans in 11th grade.

“I believe that wearing pink exudes confidence, not only in your manliness but also makes a statement about your confidence in yourself,” he said.

Black said he finds pink “pleasing to the eye.” For some men, he said, pink is just a color, “not a statement of your sexuality.”

Eddie Grant, vice president and chief development officer at First Things First, a Chattanooga family advocacy group, said his summer uniform includes a pair of Dockers and a polo shirt. Wearing shirts in vivid hues is a nice change of pace, he said.

“I like to use bright colors to jazz up an otherwise boring daily appearance,” he said. “Bright colors do that for me.”

Ray Minner, 62, a local educator, says he has numerous pink (and purple) shirts in his closet. His pink garments include dress shirts, long-sleeved casual shirts and short-sleeved polo shirts.

“I’ve never hesitated to wear pink,” he said. “I do get comments about wearing pink, but, interestingly, [there are] almost as many positive ones as questioning ones.

Pink Tie Ball on Field at Angel Stadium - Orange County Register

I've been covering charity events for 20 years, and I've never attended a fundraiser on the field at Angel Stadium. It was an Orange County first, and the Pink Tie Ball benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure Orange County was the recipient, thanks to Angels Baseball and its Chairman Dennis Kuhl , who was beaming throughout the festivities.

Looking spiffy in their uniforms as they welcomed the 387 black-tie guests were members of the Sunburst Youth Challenge Academy, a high school for at-risk teens in Los Alamitos. Husband and wife ball chairs Michael Gustafson and Trish Coury (looking beautiful wearing a stunning fuchsia Oscar de la Renta gown and Black, Starr & Frost jewelry) greeted everyone at the sunset cocktail reception on the stadium terrace overlooking the field. Joining them were ball co-chairs Marica Pendjer and John Miller and Analisa and Bruce Albert. You couldn't miss the prevalence of pink attire – the breast cancer awareness color – on both men and women. Jim McAleer's hot pink tie and vest with his tuxedo wear was dashing. Bluewater Grill generously donated the cuisine, with the Mini Ball Park Dogs and Potato "Catcher's Mitt" with Kobe Beef the decided appetizer favorites.

Dinner on the outfield was really an elegant "field of dreams" experience, with the entire dinner/dance area covered in white flooring and featuring Lucite tables lit from below in pink and covered in white eyelash organza table covers. It was magical.

Following the heartwarming Komen video, "We Fight Back," which was shown on the stadium jumbotrons, master of ceremonies Ed Arnold welcomed everyone and encouraged guests to participate in the Angels for Hope opportunity prize by purchasing one of the 200 Rawlings Official Major League baseballs, with the hope of getting one of the 10 limited edition commemorative Angels' 50th Anniversary baseballs signed by the Angels players. Each baseball purchase made you eligible for the grand prize – an 18k white gold Baume & Mercier women's watch with a mother-of-pearl and diamond face valued at $10,000, courtesy of Black, Starr & Frost, later won by Analisa Albert.
