Waiting [very patiently] in an absolutely packed waiting area of a major teaching hospital yesterday, in walked an elderly gent dressed in pink shirt, pink trousers and sparkling pink trainers. Bet he thought he looked the bees' knees!!!

How wonderful. So much better than beige!

I tried not to stare at a man who was dressed to impress in Aldi recently. He was wearing an emerald green velvet tracksuit, had a stunning asymmetrical haircut, and a D&G across body bag.

I wonder if Michael Portillo (on his TV train travelogue programmes) has helped to make it acceptable for men to wear a whole spectrum of shades of clothing, as he does?

Good on him, if that’s how he wanted to dress each to their own

Orlin has always dressed in a similar way to Portillo, not flamboyant but not dull. Certainly never head to toe in pink!

I like pink on men. Why not!
Portillo has a certain style.

Brilliant! I bet that cheered a lot of people up.

Good for him, people should dress how they want.

Hope you told him he looked amazing

Fabulous

As we were all in the ophthalmological department with drops in our eyes, none of us seeing at all well, it did make an impact!

Love this. Why not...

My doctor use to wear a lovely pink shirt, he said he wasn’t afraid to show his feminine side

My tall handsome son wears floral teeshirts something he would have never worn as a timid young boy.

Good for him. I love people who dance to their own tune.

My DH specialised in pink or lilac shirts, and there were at least a dozen in the collection taken to the charity shop yesterday. He was very fair skinned and looked so nice in them.
