Nothing says I am a prep more than wearing a Brooks Brothers pink oxford cloth buttondown, and in my humble opinion, the shirt is iconic. Furthermore, I think trolls would even look good in pink OCBDs, and the shirt is so versatile. It shines brightly with a navy blazer, and adds a bit of sunshine to my favorite tweeds. One could even prep their business suit out with a pink OCBD and by adding a club tie, ribbon belt, yellow socks, and tassel loafers, you will be so prep you will not be able to stand yourself. So don't be afraid, go out and buy one today.

Buy one? I already have several.. BB is the place to get the best of these. You are correct anyone would look good in a pink OCBD.
I love the "classic" BB OCBD shirt in all the available colors (I even like the newer non-iron shirts). But what I especially liked about the classic shirts in their very heavy OC iteration was the fact that one could starch them to the point that they would stand up in a corner by themselves :-). I would starch and iron mine myself because no commercial laundry could or would get the starchiness to the stiffness I liked (I used to soak the shirts in a mixture of Sta-Flo starch and water in = ratios) and then iron them dry. It was time consuming, but the end result was a heavily starched shirt that looked great! I received many compliments and folks asked "where di you get your shirts done?" They all seemed surprised when I told them I ironed them myself.
