Pink Hasn’t Always Been Considered a “Girly” Color

I’m sure you’ve heard the statement, “pink is for girls, and blue is for boys”. Well, did you know it used to be the opposite? At the turn of the 20th century, some stores in the United States started suggesting “-appropriate” colors for the genders. Several department stores claimed that pink was a strong color, which made it suitable for the boy. Blue was seen as more delicate and dainty, which made it perfect for girls.
