Seriously, Alex, it became the colour to wear in England a few years ago.  Just to prove a point at first, then it spread.  I think Russell Street is still fond of his pink Brooks OCBDs, but it's never done anything for me.  Doubtless Horace is right re Blue Note.

the pink ocbd is the non plus ultra of shirts. like yellow as well.

I wore yellow knits when I knew no better.  I have a yellow UCOB polo I picked up for a couple of quid, which looks okay with jeans for a trip to the supermarket.  But shirts, no.  Not even a discreet stripe.  Pale green might be interesting.

Maybe he has the right colouring for yellow.

went to buy a yellow OCBD once, didn't suit me at all, bought a pale green instead.

colours definitely only work on certain people. on the PJ O Rourke thread, nice though the yellow OCBD and madras shirts were, neither particularly suited his skin tone...

This has spread from Horace's thread.  I began by simply wondering: where to next?  I know where I'm going, more or less: backwards.

A beige shirt slightly exotic? Well call me Mr Wacky...

I would be fine with a white OCBD every day of the week I reckon.

The more colourful oxfords are always a nice touch peeking out from under knitwear.
