These hospitality pants, often overlooked in their role beyond practical attire, harbor a profound symbolism that reverberates throughout the culinary world. They are not merely pieces of fabric; they are woven into the very fabric of kitchen culture, carrying with them centuries of tradition, pride, and craftsmanship

Syd's pink pants and notes on color theory
So I got a comment on my fic (chapter 3) about my use of the color pink. For context: The scene in the fic features Carmy having a distracted internal monologue while in a therapy session in which he thinks about his plans to meet up with Syd after. He mentions the pink cargo pants she wore in s2e2. Later on in the fic, he mentions pink again while on the brink of a panic attack.
Anyway, I got a comment today mentioning the use of pink as a symbol for something, which reminded me of why I used it as a literary device in the first place.
I remember watching s2e2, seeing Syd's pink cargos, and being OBSESSED with the juxtaposition. Carmy is such a heavy character. He's usually wearing dark, muted, or plain colors to reflect that. It's a very utilitarian, no fun, no-nonsense kind of look.
Carmy's apartment is equally as bleak. No color, no decorations, almost no personality. It's clearly just the place he sleeps at. And one can imagine that Carmy's apartment isn't a place of refuge for him either. Like, imagine dealing with the aftermath of your estranged brother's suicide, it's a shit show, you come home to an empty apartment, and you wake up and do it again. There's no warmth or homeyness. Syd notices the first time she comes over too.
So the fact that Syd came into his personal space wearing such a quintessentially soft, gentle, and comforting color felt like an intentional choice by the costume department. Like there is nothing more airy and playful than a pink pant!! Plus a fun patterned tote, and a blue bag!! She brings such a brightness to the scene, and (by extension) Carmy's world. She breathes life into an otherwise lifeless space. It's also the first time we see Carmy truly relaxed in his own space, and it's because of the energy and aliveness Syd adds to it.
Anyway, I wanted to portray Carmy as subconsciously associating those adjectives with Syd. Like even as he's on the brink of a panic attack, Syd cuts through the heaviness with her pink pants. Her pinkness grounds him!!!
