Do you think colours define you?
I wear a lot of pink and I try to match items of clothing or accessories, scarf, mask etc.
I get comments nearly every day about it from men and women. Most of the comments are about pink being a female colour and then some sort of innuendo about my sexuality.
Do other people get something similar?
I wear pink because I like the colour and the more shocking, at times, the better.  |

Probably petrol blue, but I wear pink a bit, I have a pink shirt on with a maroon belt and black jeans, I have a yellow jacket too, often seen as a more female thing (obviously I’m. Not wearing it with pink  ) but I don’t care what people think |

Pink used to be seen as a masculine colour for little boys. Girls wore white or blue.
I mainly wear dark colours. Along with my resting bitch face it might seem I’m a miserable git but I can be quite bright and happy, if you catch me on a good day |

I'm not sure if they define a person on their own eyes but maybe in others eyes they do.
I wear a lot of colour, people including strangers, comment positively often saying things like it's cheered them up or its striking. Some acquaintances make comments implying that it's deliberately drawing attention to myself  ...if only they knew. The colours I wear probably say something about my personality but I don't think they define "me" as such.
I do notice how uniform people's clothes are though. Similar colours, styles of dress etc |

I try an wear bright clothes all year round. The winter is bleak enough. Black is a uniform colour in the winter.
I do get some positive comments about my scarfs and that is nice. |

That's good to hear. I have some coats in strong colours which draw a lot of comments.
I often look at rows of clothes in shops and they're such dull colours it makes me feel a bit depressed |

I think it can be done. They bring attributes out in each other. It is a bold choice though |

When I can I try to wear brown, navy, or charcoal grey instead of black. I'm pale enough that black is quite harsh against my skin (although not so pale that I can't pull it off, plus I've got high contrast features. Some people, black just swamps them. It's just unflattering for me) |

Navy looks great with so many colours. In the sixties my mum had a navy shift dress with pink piping round the sleeves. She wore it with white court shoes. I thought she was the most glamorous person! |

I wear some purple and I've started buying some red things as well.
I couldn't wear red in the summer though. Not with the lobster effect on a pasty white Scotsman. |

I was a bit taken aback the first time I went into Thomas Pink's shop. I thought I'd be in heaven, but they sold other colours as well.
Although to be fair most things had a bit of pink in them. |

I wear a lot of purple and own a lot of purple things. Have done for nearly 30 years. It got a bit obsessive at one point and I still always want the purple version of pretty much anything! |

I have worn a pink shirt in the past & had comments. So what? I'm not asking anybody else to wear it. Nob off fashion Police! I wear what I want not what others think.
I had a grey suit (which immediately makes me think about that spitting image sketch of Norma & John Major's at a table in everything grey chasing a pea round a plate with boring conversation), the pink shirt looked great with it. I also had a red, grey, white striped tie that looked great with the pink shirt & red in the tie looked great with the patterned grey suit . It was very smart (In my opinion.)
Blue, purple, pink & yellow looks great with grey I have found. It really does go! Found that out on an Art course I did ....
Anyway, Blue was introduced by the Victorian's. Previously it was considered a girl's colour.
Women & men wear unisex clothing. Nobody bats an eyelid (well, I don't), Do women get hassle about wearing blue? Too butch? No, I don't think so...
I personally love Prussian Blue.
I love the blue in blue & white patterns you see in Kimono's.
I think colours used in men's clothing is drab. Shitty brown's & greys. Yuck!
What's wrong with having different coloured clothing pallets???? |

I think it is great to wear different colours. Someone else mention blue having been seen as a girls colour.
I have just asked Google Bob what Prussian Blue looks like. Heads to the shops. |

I tend to go through phases, but tend to like quite deep bold colours such as purples, maroons, dark greens, but then other times I will go for lilacs and paler colours.
I find the lack in choice of different colours in mens clothing a bit disappointing at times, as the majority seem to be blue, blacks and greys, and although I wear these colours, its quite nice to have something else to brighten things up
I dont think it defines me, just colours that suit me |

There are colours that don't suit me either, I have found that out after buying some things though.
I have to spend ages looking for brightly coloured clothes at times, even in the summer months, unless I go into SuperDry where nearly everything is bright and colourful. |

Working in an office means I'm very boring during the day. I stick to mainly black/white/grey/dark colours but I am partial to red when I'm not at work. It's my favourite colour and it suits me apparently

As a shy wallflower teen I used to think red was a colour for confident people and wouldn't touch it for that reason. But once I tried it and realised it was the most flattering colour on me, there's been no going back with about 75% of my wardrobe is red! |

Most of my clothes are black with some blue and denim too.
The colours don’t define me but they are the colours I feel most comfortable in and it’s easy to out outfits together
I have many different colours of bras though |
