I don't really have anything pink except a light pink blouse. I do think that florals are more feminine and I have several floral outfits. Otherwise the majority of my clothes are black with white or red combinations.
Thanks for this interesting topic Lila,

Women's clothing seems so much more colorful and often patterned. In comparison to most men's clothing, which seems so dull and lacking vibrancy. So, IMO, all the colors and shades and patterns. are "girls" colors.
Gendered colours have changed through history. In the not to distant past pink was a masculine colour and blue was a feminine colour. I say have complete freedom and wear whatever colours you like 👍 🥰
I voted "state of mind" because, well, because colors are simply beautiful parts of life. When boys learn to fear other boys, they narrow their color choices and go with the flow. Girls can choose literally any color and feel safe. So they do - what color isn't feminine when a girl chooses it? One shade of freedom for someone raised as a boy in the 20th, is realizing that colors are just colors and that choosing among them is part of the joy of being alive. I'll love whatever color I choose to wear tomorrow, because I think it's pretty. And I still love blue 🙂
Hmmm... This question caught my eye, the answer is yes of course there are girly colors and of course it is all just a state of mind. As someone pointed out in the not so recent past pink was a masculine color; and little boys wore dresses, guys long white wigs in the 18th century; ask the romans, they all wore dresses as well as flower tiaras; and long hair and skirts were in for Scottish men and still is to some degree. Society has changed what is fashionable and acceptable for genders since the dawn of clothing. so it is very subjective and only a mental thing. However in todays society (that is changing btw) there are certain colors that go with certain genders, and people in these society's are raised in such that the mind associates some colors with certain genders. More than likely you grew up in the western 1980's-2010's world such as myself that made pink a color for girls in our minds. So if wearing pink helps the mind feel more at ease with in your self, wear it, enjoy it. I know I wear under things that make me feel certain ways, even if no-one else can see them, it changes my mood. Fashion can do this as well, if you have ever worn a pair of 3in or taller shoes you know its is not for comfort that is for sure.
