Historically, pink has been worn by both men and women since the eighteenth century until the 1960's when gender specific infant clothing was introduced to meet the desires of expectant parents wanting to know the sex of their unborn babies. Pink was fashionable and masculine among eighteenth century Georgian men, who wore vivid shades of pink silk suits with floral embroidery, pink shoes and pink fans to stand out in public. In the early 1900's, the first pink dress shirt, designed by Brooks Brothers to target female college students,became a hit among college age males as it resonated well with the Ivy League look. Pink is making a comeback as a male wardrobe color choice. A 2012 study found that men who wore pink earned an average of $1,200.00 more per year.
