Who buys a men's sweater in pink? You'd be amazed. They're not so popular that companies stock of a lot of them, but there's enough desire to having at least a few made.
Generally, women enjoy seeing their men wearing pink. It displays a gentler, softer yet confident side of the men in their life. Pink on men also speaks a certain comfort to an evening's chill or a brisk morning, and the semi-formality of a theatre, museum or art show; a way to dress-up without really dressing-up.
Then... there are a surprising number of men nick-named "Pink." Many of them have taken on the color as a persona. About two dozen of these guys have been regular clients of mine for years, as finding men's sweaters in pink can be a challenge.
How'd they get bestowed with a nickname like "Pink?" I've asked and not a single one knows the reasoning behind what was to become their nickname for life.
The story is always the same...for some unknown reason, before they could walk nor talk, someone started calling them Pink and they started responding. By the time they became old enough to inquire as to its origins, no one remembered who started it nor why.
Is there a guy out there nicknamed "Pink" who knows why... please share your story here.
