I do it and have all kinds of more fun dress shirts but my group has gone SUPER laid back post covid with associates and analysts wearing legit nike sneakers in the office lol (NYC)
Absolutely fine just keep it very pale if you don't want to get comments (NY office, EB)
Don't forget to match it with a pink tie- a darker shade just for some contrast.
Lol go in there looking like Andy Bernard
Has always been fine. Just weirdos would comment on that.
Rock it.
On Wednesdays we wear pink.
But yes, I have several pink to salmon dress shirts and they look splendid.
Pale pink is great..actually wearing one at the moment ;)
Pastel colors is the key (Light blue, pink, white)
echoing most of the above but pink is very professional and nice
I'd say that pale pink is pretty traditional, maybe only slightly less traditional than solid white or blue and on par with blue/white stripes.
Smooth sailing - I love the pale pink. Pale pink is the operative color here of course, pastels and deeper colors obviously don't work in a professional setting.
Pastel pink is the best
I think it's absolute okey. But pastel will be the best one.
Pale/lighter pinks are great and go well with a navy/dark blue suit. Try to make your wardrobe as modular as possible. Maximize how much matches and it will take you much further.
Greys, pink, white, light and navy blue, charcoal (sometimes), etc :)
