Could it be possible that dressing boys in blue and girls in pink is all part of an advertisement ploy? Evidence points to the fact that up until the 1980s, there was no such thing as differentiating a baby's gender through the color of their clothes. As a matter of fact, before this was a phenomenon, clothes was used to identify ones age. Before then, boys and girls would be dressed in dresses. Eventually pants and skirts were created. So what created that shift? Well it could be said that because pants were more expensive to make, companies began to advertise them and create a movement towards them. Could pink vs blue clothing also stem from advertisement? There is no factual answer to this question, however, it is a likely explanation.
Why Is Pink for Girls and Blue for Boys?
