Good Shopping Sense for Guys A fear of fucshia doesn't make you manly, it just makes you design-dumb. Here's how to utilize this sophisticated hue. 
Forget the ridiculous “girls-only” stigma; pink isn’t a color reserved for fashionistas and pigtailed tykes. Both sophisticated and elegant, its myriad shades add soft, yet colorful depth to traditionally masculine browns, and sparks new wave nostalgia when paired with 80s neon. Still afraid? You’re not alone. A recent Sears study found that 93 percent of men are wary of incorporating pink into their lives, even though celebrities both cutting-edge (Ashton Kutcher, Tom Cruise) and conservative (Donald Trump, ‘American Idol’ judge Randy Jackson) are all over the trend. Start slowly. Give pink a go with these innovative home accents. Soon, you’ll be as comfortable in fuchsia as you are in a football stadium. 1.
