Pantone Pink

There's a trend which is currently sweeping the Street Style collective and I never thought I'd be someone to embrace it.  The trend is pink, of all shades, although having said that Pantone did announce earlier on this year that 'Rose Quartz' (Pantone 13-1520) is the colour of the year for 2016.  I have to admit that normally I dislike pastels to a large degree (and most colours in general) but I had this pink mens shirt buried in my wardrobe from about 3 (maybe longer) years ago and every time I cleansed my wardrobe I always kept hold of it.  I'm feeling pretty smug about that now as finally it's calling has been fulfilled.  There's a lot to be said about the fit of a mens shirt, the slouch, the long sleeves, the stiff collar...all the makings of the perfect shirt.  Keeping the sleeves unbuttoned gives a laid back edge to the look and also creates a more flared cuff, and who doesn't love a flared cuff right?

So what do you think about pink?  Is the a trend you will be trying?
