Would a guy in a pink shirt put you off?
My oldest son has an interview for an internship at one of the major hotels in Dubai tomorrrow and now has been sent into a panick cause his mentor told him not to wear a pink shirt to the interview...
Is it a British thing to think that a guy in a pink shirt must have something wrong with him?

When i first wore a pink top years ago my mates all slagged me for it. I'd say its pretty common now and I dont think he needs to worry about that. Unless he wears high heels with it!!

I often wear a pink shirt when wearing dark blue or very dark grey suits for work. My wife seems to like it
Not sure about the hospitality sector, but walk around DIFC and you will see penty of pink shirts.

I'd say there is a certain percentage of men that assume if your a guy wearing pink you must be a screaming queen. However I'd say it depends on the shade of pink and your colouring and what you wear it with and how you wear it! Also a 20 stone rugby type does look a bit funny wearing a pink shirt! I think you need a certain feminity to pull it off (think Hugh Grant)or just have to be gorgeous then you can get away with wearing anything! Although I think I'd rather see Hugh Jackman out of a pink shirt than in it!

don't think I could work for someone who takes offense at a particular colour of shirt. I guess if it said "I hate blacks" or "I love Hitler" or something then fair enough, but a colour?

True, perhaps "offence" is too strong a word but the theory holds true. I'd also suggest that as he hasn't years of experience under his belt and this is an internship, he would be less likely to be able to pick and choose his employers in Dubai.

Nowt' wrong with pink shirts, I've got several. And before anybody starts: it takes a real man to wear pink.
As for an interview? Why not, unless its flourescent?

First impressions though................ "crisp and white is always right"
