Boys Wore Pink and Girls Wore Blue
Up until the 20th century, pink was considered the little red, or the red that was associated with soldiers and war, which is why baby boys were dressed in pink. Meanwhile, girls were dressed in blue because it was considered the color of the Virgin Mary, particularly the shawl she wore over her head in many sculptures and drawings. But somewhere along the line, pink became a color that was more appropriate for women and blue became a color for men. Of course, these days, anyone can wear whatever they want regardless of their gender.
