Formerly considered a “girlish” color, pink invaded men’s wear. Yessir, pilgrims, even real tough hombres were donning pink ties, shirts, and bathrobes.

Pink was everywhere. There were pink bathrooms with accessories to match, pink cosmetics and of course, the ubiquitous pink poodle. And then there was Elvis with his famous pink Cadillacs.
