PAIGE
then this is your season. Whether it’s a new pair of pink suede shoes, a raspberry-colored blazer or a dusty watermelon-hued T-shirt, the men’s fashion world has an appealingly roseate glow this spring. ¶ There’s a bit of everything-that’s-old-is-new-again about this revival because, historically, pink has been a prime pick for male peacocking. An Armani blazer recalls “The Great Gatsby” (and the shock of Jay Gatsby’s pink suit). Light-pink-colored swim shorts have the flashy flair of Sonny Crockett from TV show “Miami Vice,” while pinkish denim harks back to preppies with their fondness for eye-searing trousers to match their Madras cocktails. And a bright bubblegum, polka-dot shirt can’t help but be a reminder of the “good vibrations” of the Beach Boys during the SoCal band’s ’60s prime. ¶ And for the more discreet, you have options such as a silk square with a field of renegade strawberries to tuck into a navy blazer pocket. It’ll put you in the pink.
Slim-fit Federal cotton/rayon jeans in a faded garden tone called radish. $199. Bloomingdale’s, bloomingdales.com, (800) 777-0000
