Interesting. Pink is a fairly popular colour in the UK for men's
formal shirts. All of our account managers and account directors have
a tendency to it, for instance. (Again, they could be accused of being
design-related, and hence less than men ;-)

Any locales or cultures (banking, for instance) that don't do this? I
don't get to meet Big City people in work clothes that often :)
