Introducing Masculine Pink Everyday Carry Items: A New Trend in Men's Accessories
In the world of men's fashion, the concept of masculinity is constantly evolving. Recently, we've seen a rise in the popularity of everyday carry (EDC) items featuring a surprising yet stylish colour: pink. Here's a look at some high-end, design-forward pink EDC items that are making waves in the fashion industry.
First up is the Grand Seiko Spring Drive SBGA413 'Shunbun', a watch that combines elegance and functionality. Housed in a 42mm high-intensity titanium case, this timepiece boasts a pink textured dial inspired by the phenomenon hana-ikada, featuring cherry blossom petals on a river's surface. The Grand Seiko Spring Drive SBGA413 'Shunbun' can be purchased for $6,900 at Grand Seiko.
Another standout item is the James Brand Halifax pocket tool. Made of rose gold PVD-coated 416 stainless steel, this versatile tool features a screwdriver compatible with both Phillips and flathead tips, along with an integrated bottle opener. Although the price is not specified, the James Brand Halifax pocket tool is available for purchase at Kohezi.
For those who appreciate luxury eyewear, the Oliver Peoples Gregory Peck Sun Limited Edition sunglasses are a must-have. Handmade in Italy, these sunglasses feature sturdy acetate frames and pink photochromatic lenses that get darker when exposed to sunlight. They are available for purchase at Oliver Peoples for $487.
When it comes to writing instruments, the 22STUDIO Polygon Rollerball Pen is a unique addition to any EDC collection. Inspired by the Gherkin skyscraper in London and Chanel's iconic quilted bag, this pen's design features a pink colorway that highlights its diamond pattern. It is made of high-density cement and 316L stainless steel tip, weighing over 1.5oz. The 22STUDIO Polygon Rollerball Pen is available for purchase at Kohezi for $101.
Beyond these examples, there are other categories of masculine pink EDC items. For instance, minimalist leather key pouches or wallets in orchid/pink shades, such as the Luka Key Pouch in Orchid by CALPAK, offer a subtle pop of pink in a practical item. Customizable rugged knives or pocket tools with pink details or engravings, like the CRKT M16 with personalization, could also align with the masculine pink EDC aesthetic.
Leather toiletry bags or moccasins with pink tones but strong, durable craftsmanship, such as the HLC Leather Toiletry Bag, could also be considered. Lastly, luxury tech accessories in rose gold or pinkish metals, like rose gold Apple Watches or iPhones, sometimes appear in men’s style as hinted in EDC from men TikTok videos.
In summary, the world of masculine pink EDC extends beyond the items listed here. Consider minimalist leather key pouches or wallets in orchid/pink shades, customizable rugged knives or pocket tools with pink details or engravings, leather toiletry bags or moccasins with pink tones but strong, durable craftsmanship, and luxury tech accessories in rose gold or pinkish metals for a well-rounded EDC collection that embraces this new trend.
In the realm of home and garden, one might also find a subtle nod to the masculine pink trend. For instance, a rose gold Apple HomePod Mini could serve as a stylish addition to any modern living space. Additionally, luxurious pink-hued candles, such as those created by Salvatore Ferragamo, could provide an elegant touch to a lifestyle defined by fashion-and-beauty.
