<p>Instead of a white shirt?</p>
<p>I will wear a tie and I have a decent suit.</p>
<p>My wife has no clue. </p>
<p>This is not an orthodox ceremony.</p>
<p>White seems so blah…</p>
<p>I packed both a white and a pink shirt…</p>
<p>There are going to be pictures…</p>
<p>Yes, absolutely.</p>
<p>I don’t think it matters at all.</p>
<p>Ok…great…</p>
<p>I should know this… :)</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Yes you can wear this color dress shirt.</p>
<p>I am not 100% sure, but my husband might have wore one to one of our own kid’s Bar or Bat Mitzvah. The males in my family like pink shirts!!</p>
<p>Yes you can. Men look great in pink shirts.</p>
<p>And I am very proud of you for being so prepared to actually wear clothes!</p>
<p>Knowing what to wear can definitely be a challenge.</p>
<p>Two of my fashion fails:</p>
<p>An interview. Never having been into this office before, I dressed conservatively to be on the safe side (hah!) and wore a navy blue suit. Knew within moments of stepping into the room for the interview I’d made a huge mistake. Way too formal. One of the two gals interviewing me was wearing a casual button down sweater and slacks. There I was, tall me, wearing pumps and the suit in a dark color. When I called to follow up I was told I needed to “lighten up my visual image”. No comments about my qualifications for the job or how I conducted myself otherwise.</p>
<p>A wedding. I wore a nice pair of slacks, and before I got to the wedding thought I had done fine choosing my outfit. I arrived to find everyone was dressed much more formally than I expected, and I was the only woman in the room not wearing a dress. The mother of the bride looked like she wanted to strangle me.</p>

<p>As opposed to what? A clothing optional Bar Mitzvah? LOL.</p>
<p>Zoosermom… Lol</p>
<p>Dstark, what shade of pink? Hot pink? Pepto Bismol pink? Pale pink? What is the color of your suit?</p>
<p>It is a traditional dark blue suit with pinstripes. The shirt is pink. It isn’t bright. You don’t have to cover your eyes.</p>
<p>Pistachio is a very in color this spring. If you have that color in your closet it would look nice, too - and more in than pink.</p>
<p>I have been wearing pink dress shirts since 8th grade including to lots of bar mitzvahs. I’m wearing a pink shirt right now at work with a pink and blue striped tie.</p>
<p>Well I am 400 miles from home and I am not going to buy another shirt. As zoosermom knows, I don’t wear suits that often. </p>
<p>It is pink or white. I have reddish ties. Not bright red … Shades of red…</p>
<p>A guy just walked past me and he was wearing a pink shirt and a reddish tie. Obviously not tsdad. He looked good.</p>
<p>dstark,</p>
<p>First, I think it is absolutely OK to wear pink shirt to a Bar Mitzvah or any other event. My son wore burgundy shirt to his, which I picked for him. My husband owns couple of pink shirts, which he wears to special occasions when the suit is required. Pink shirts are really no different then any other shirts.</p>
<p>You might want to reconsider your tie choice to better match the suit color. Go for blue/purple color scheme with some hint of pink maybe?</p>
<p>P.S. You might be afraid to take advice from someone with my political views, but I assure you that I have good taste in clothes. Like you said: brilliant in some areas, but dumb in others :).</p>
<p>The suit is dark blue. I didn’t want to insult the hosts or the congregation. </p>
<p>Sounds like pink is ok.</p>
<p>As long as you are covered up (more of the lady’s issue), wear kippah during service, stand up when congregation stands up and sit down when the congregation sits down, why would you insult the host or congregation?</p>
<p>“Well I am 400 miles from home and I am not going to buy another shirt”</p>
<p>Well nevermind then.</p>
