I wear a lot of pink normally and wore a pink tie to a wedding like three weeks ago. Why is it inappropriate? It's a spring wedding.
Pink is people specific. Doesn't work for me. I also think it works better as a group thing or a groom thing. But, as already mentioned, I guess it's not a funeral and is certainly better than red/dark purple.
We are talking about like a solid red button down, right? That's super lol, and I can't see a reason for owning one unless it's part of a uniform or something. Not a fan of solid color button downs to begin with especially if they are darker shirts. Big fan of lighter purple/lavender, though. And girls really enjoy these colors, too.
Shirt resembles a tablecloth, gotta rock some uniqlo if you're going bold
On the topic of boat shoes I used to rock Sperrys nonstop until they inevitably got beat to **** in <1 year. Got some Sebagos a while back and they hold up great and are more comfortable than Sperrys too. Would definitely buy again.
