Pink is the “in” color for men in London this Spring. Marv first noticed the trend at his office where two guys were wearing pink on the same day. Since then, I have seen at least one guy wearing pink on any given day and over the weekend, saw two guys both wearing pink entering the house opposite us for an afternoon get-together. Then there’s the pink tie too. I’ll go blind if I see another group of men all wearing pink.

The lemming-like behavior of Londonites when it comes to fashion is a new experience. I have never lived in any fashion capital of the world where whatever is “in” must be worn by everyone all at once.

For women this Spring, anything in the color white is the must-have of the season. Every newspaper, TV show, and magazine have endless spreads of white apparel and accessories. You’ll never see me wearing any of it.

White is a cursed color. One of Marv’s formal dress shirts has already had to be washed four times although he has yet to wear it even once. The first two times, he found tiny ink marks, the third and fourth, mysterious dirt smudges. Even now, I’m not sure it’s completely free of stains but I have ceased to care.

This season, I’ll be the one wearing pink in our family and Marv’s only allowed to wear white to work.

What colors are you wearing this season?
