I have two. Polo and a casual cotton button down, American style. Both good quality.

Goes well with my pink face and blond hair.

Eh. I don't care. My friends don't care. It's normal among posh people. It's normal among chavs. Some very posh Americans even wear pink pants.

But no striped pink shirt.

For interiviews stick with white or blue.

Bizarrely, I actually know that Crispin White. Nice chap. Quite likely to wear a pink shirt as I remember.

Are all his shirts pink? Or is it a comfort blanket thing?

Given there is at least a certain amount of doubt, why not wear an 'ordinary' white one to be sure?

He IS a teenager, remember. A certain amount of doubt arises from rational analysis or reasonable conjecture. Having just written that down, I feel he'll probably go down a storm out here.

My 3 kids were all teenagers at the same time for a short while--NOW I realise why I was drawn here...

Posh people, chavs and Americans are not known for their style....

There's no problem with a pink shirt nowadays....if anyone asks him about it (highly unlikely) at the interview, he can always say it was a white shirt but his mum put a red sock in with the washing...

Is it a British thing to think that a guy in a pink shirt must have something wrong with him?
If it is a Thomas Pink then that is fine.

Anything else other than white or light blue and a dark suit is totally unacceptable in my mind...

... oh and tell him not to take his jacket off. That is a no no too.

pink shirts are fine, but it does depend on the occasion...monsieur medusa has some for work, but won't wear them for some meetings...but your son is only young, and i can't see anyone would find it offensive...

Congrats to him.

Just for the record, I have my pink shirt on with a dark blue Boss pinstripe suit and my day is going extremely well. I feel a trend starting..........
