One of the most common examples of color symbolism in clothing is the custom of using pink for girls and blue for boys, but it wasn't always this way This tradition emerged at the turn of the 20th century Since pink was thought to be a stronger color, it was best suited for boys; blue was more delicate and dainty and best for girls In 1921, the Women's Institute for Domestic Science in Pennsylvania endorsed pink for boys, blue for girls Even more interesting is the fact that pink is the color for baby boys and blue is the color for baby girls in Belgium today Another interesting fact about pink is that pink is a very masculine color in Bermuda Also, British bankers and barristers have worn pink shirts for decades Pink goes in and out of fashion in other parts of the world White is the traditional color for a bride's wedding gown in the U.S and most European cultures White symbolizes purity and innocence What about the color worn for weddings and funerals? In Asia, white is the color of death This arises from the belief that death is seen as a beginning and that white represents the purity that the deceased brings into the next life Therefore, brides in Japan and China wear red in traditional wedding ceremonies White is also associated with death in India, where widows wear white Consequently, red or pink saris are the most popular colors for brides What about black clothes?
