Just some information for you...
Last year the fashion gurus turned around and asked
Why cant men wear pink or lavender??
This year pink will be the vogue for men..so you had pink shirts and pink stripped shirts and lavender and pink shirts and lavender shirts(I dont recall seeing pink pants thankfully!!).Though my husband clearly refused to be dragged into buying a pink shirt I saw quite a few of my friends bravely venture into buying a pink or lavender shirt.It was pink everywhere in the US and I have it on good authority that it was the same in Europe.
Maybe the Indian fashion designers were influenced by their western counterparts

.

Thats strange. I live in the US and hardly ever see a male wearing pink. There has been a trend for quite some time now to go "casual", but I never saw pink hit it big. Of course it was big in the late 60's & 70's. Thats large because before the 60's, there was a very conservative tendency which prevailed; men wore full black suits (with the coat) and black hats (you can see it in the old American films). There was very little variety in terms of color. The 60's/70's was a rebellion against all this.
