Do You Wear Bright Colours?

[Murrmurr]

I agree. Must have variety. I have way more green shirts than that. Different ones for different seasons. Dress up and casual.
Not all greens are the same ya know.

I dont wear pinks or blues. The husband wore most blues and he would wear red .
But he refused to wear pink even though he looked good in that color. Cause people will make fun of you if you wear pink.
Trust me they wouldnt.

There was a time when they would. When I was in jr. high school, boys would razz boys who wore pink, and some of them were merciless. Not in high school, though. For one thing, we were all more mature, but also, it was the late60s-early70s, an anything goes, live and let live decade.

I like and wear the mid blues, greens and purple tops, usually with jeans or black trousers.

Husband played football and he was built like Magilla Gorilla. Nobody in their right mind would make fun of him to his face.
This was in the 70's. Finally in the 90's he started wearing pink and brighter colors. He was appalled the first time I bought him colored underwear. And just who will be seeing you in this underwear besides me.

My poor conservative husband got matched with a wife who would wear a purple suit with an orange blouse.

Take a listen to the song My Strongest Suit.

From your cradle via trousseau
To your deathbed you're on view, so
Never compromise, accept no substitute
I would rather wear a barrel
Than conservative apparel
For my dress has always been
My strongest suit
Overwear
Underwear
Anytime
Anywhere

I love bright colors now. I always wore neutral colors, beige, gray, black, tan, etc but I feel younger with alive colors! The exception however, are the florescent shades of orange, green, yellow and glow in the dark unless you're out walking after dark or working in construction, etc.

I'm not a big guy. I played baseball .

Actually, I was a very good ballplayer. I had a pretty decent chance at moving on to MLB if I'd made better decisions.

But anyway, I was raised on a farm and went to school with farm boys, and we all worked from the time we could pick something up and carry it a ways. We all said Yes, sir, and Yes, ma'am when we were around grown-ups, beat the crap out of each other for recreation when we weren't (but never hit a girl no matter how hard they hit a boy), and only girls wore pink and all the boys wore blue denim except on Sunday.

(I dressed nice on Saturday, too, when I observed Shabbat with my mom.)

Anyhow, that was until my dad bought a house in a part sub-rural, part suburban part of a census-designated part of the Sacramento metropolitan area in 1969, where I attended my last 2 years of high-school with about an equal number of hippies and flower-girls and their counterparts, football-players and cheerleaders, and where former farm kids and their subset group, fans of country-music, made up a minority of the student body.

The hippies were all about peace and love, right? So they'd stand there in their floral shirts and tie-dyed tees and try to right your wrong thinking with words, but the preppy, football-playing Ivy League hopefulls only knew physicality as the means to achieve a goal.

Again, I was not a big guy, but like most boys who worked on a farm for the better part of his childhood, there was significant strength and muscle beneath my blue outer / white under cottons. And my cottons stayed blue and white until I graduated.

To this day, I don't wear bright colors except for red, and my wardrobe is still mainly blue. But I got over the pink is only for girls concept long ago, when my kids were tots. And that had nothing to do with my childhood or my high-school experience, it had to do with letting my kids, 2 sons and a daughter, pick out their own clothes whenever we went shopping. Whatever they liked, as long as it was appropriate for its purpose, I was fine with it.

I don’t. I wear black, grey, white or cream. The only real color I wear is a pop of red.I don’t wear prints either; only solids. If I want a pop of color, I use scarves.
