So how can they do it successfully? The fact is pink is a supremely versatile color and we believe it should receive much more play in the typical man's wardrobe than it gets currently. How you can incorporate pink into your wardrobe starting with when to wear it. While pink may first be associated with the brighter color palettes of spring and summer, it can actually be worn at any time so long as you're choosing a complementary shade of pink both for the season and for your own complexion. Which tone of pink would suit you best then? Well, according to science, pink is actually a bit of an interesting color as it doesn't really exist in the spectrum of visible light. After all, if you observe a rainbow or light refracted through a prism, you won't find any pink there. Rather, pink occupies that blank space in between red and violet in the spectrum of light that humans can't see, like infrared and ultraviolet, so our eyes basically invent the colour of pink to fill in that gap. Meanwhile, in terms of pigment or colors in the physical world, pink is created by mixing red and white together. Of course, with that said, it can be a darker or lighter shade of pink and have undertones more of yellow or more of blue. Ultimately though, which pink to choose does depend somewhat on your complexion; if you have darker skin, a wide array of Pinks will be available to you and look good. If you have a lighter complexion, pink will look better if you do have a bit of a tan but this shouldn't be a problem in the warmer months when pink is most commonly worn. And if you're particularly fair-skinned, brighter hues of pink may bring out some blotches in your face but don't be afraid because pastel pink can be worn by almost anyone. In the broad strokes then, subtle and pastel pinks will be complementary to almost any skin tone whereas brighter and more abrasive pinks should be worn more carefully. Keep in mind also that if you're wearing multiple garments in pink, they may be of subtly different shades. For example, you might not want to pair a pink that's more of a salmon shade with a pink that's more of a magenta shade because they have different undertones of color they might not necessarily harmonize well. Just make sure that all of your accessories and different elements of your outfit are in harmony and you'll be good to go. In the transitional periods between seasons such as between winter and spring or between summer and fall, pink goes well with darker red shades like burgundy and maroon. Another smart pairing would be pink and brown; for example, a pastel pink shirt paired with a brown linen jacket would be a good choice for the summer months. Meanwhile, a bolder pairing that is somewhat underutilized in menswear is putting pink and green together because these two colors are opposite from one another on the color wheel. They provide maximum contrast which means if you are pairing them together subtly and in harmony, they're going to look especially smart. Lastly here, pink and white can be a winning combination after all as we stated before pink is made from red and white so bringing out that white undertone in your outfit will look good for summer.
