Are you blue or red? With this being a presidential election year, that's a popular question. But what guys should be asking is blue or pink, as in shirts. Confused? Read on. . . .

In a world of white shirts, the striped shirt has become the accepted alternative. It’s supposed to express vigor, vitality, and daring.

However, next to the barrage of candy-caned shirts are a couple of solid colors that are experiencing a renaissance, just like break dancing and Flava Flav: pink and blue shirts. They go with everything. Not only will your old suits look new again, you’ll stand out from the stripe-clad masses, even in jeans and sneakers. These three shirts go both ways—work and casual.
