Do you dress your husband?

My DH would never buy any clothes if I didn't do it for him. He's ridiculously conservative with colours and any pattern that isn't stripes or checks is a no-no. There's not a lot left to work with!

DH is better than me at culling, paddyann.

If he has something new he throws an item out.
I really should follow his example.

Wouldn't dream of buying him clothes or telling him what to wear.It is difficult to get him to cull things from his 4 wardrobes and multiple chests of drawers.He really doesn't need that many suits nowadays but he wont part with them because "he likes to have a choice" I wouldn't even buy socks or underwear for him.He does sometimes buy things for me when he 's out and about and they're fine .

Agree with the you NotAGran55.
Since we married 45 years ago, I vowed not to be one of these women who dress their man.
He likes the country casual, very casual, look with a dog or two in tow. Dogs and good clothes don't mix!
He's always had a muscular figure but never made any effort at style except for the many weddings, and funerals lately, we've attended.
He is rather a hunk still in a formal suit!!

He was MissA - red hair and an easy friendly manner. His five year old grandson (youngest of the gang) is head n shoulders taller than his classmates and we suspect will be another Viking.

Good grief no. He’s 65 not 5 and I’m not his mother.

Without a hesitation.. Yes, DH is not to be trusted, he hasn't got a clue. Always asks, does this go?
Thank goodness he was in the Military and wore uniform, or Suit.
Absolutely everything he has I have either bought or given the OK to.
My dad was similar mum even bought his shoes.

Hes 62....he dresses himself

My late DH had a good eye for what suited him but he would sometimes ask my opinion and I would occasionally ask for his, especially if we were dressing for a special event. I guess this is pretty normal stuff.

My husband was always smart and knew what he liked. I was always proud to be seen out with him.

Lovely!

Nope. Mr i was 28 when we met, so old enough to choose his own clothes. He had an old fashioned love of good tweed jackets. I bought him several as Big Gifts over the happy years. I also bought him expensive hand knit Scandi jumpers. He was 6’6” to a big boy💙 . Scandi clothes fitted him well 💙

I can just imagine tucking vests in, and doing that thing of jumping them up and down to get the trousers and pants up!

Good grief no. He’s 65 not 5 and I’m not his mother.

What would your reaction be if your husband told you what to wear?

He wouldn't have a clue!

He usually gets to the front door then I say "oh dear, that shirt doesn't match that jumper and neither match your trousers."

I love this 👌
My own DH has a wardrobe full of lovely clothes that he has brought himself , but occasionally I do have to stop him coming out in his dog walking clothes that he thinks is quite suitable for a shopping trip .

No, but he's tall and slim and very conservative in what he wears, so he looks pretty OK. His only purchase that made me scream with laughter were plastic waders which came up to his armpits. Bought to clean out our rather deep and large pond, they did the job but he looked hilarious. I'd post a pic but I'd be too embarrassed!

I’m pretty sure my DH has much more idea when it comes to style than I do. He hasn’t dared start advising me on what to wear though!

Yes, but it is a hard task sometimes. I expect that left to himself he would still be wearing trousers with turn ups, and a shirt and tie absolutely everywhere.

Our Daughters turn up his jeans if he forgets.. style they prefer!

DH only wears outer garments from three or four designers, family know what to buy him.

DH buys clothes twice a year, normally scrubs up well, his body, his money, his choice.

Mr P is colour blind. I don't dress him but I will sometimes point out colour clashes.

Mine would look as if he had dressed in the dark if I didn’t vet his choices.

As would mine!

We exchange opinions. I say when he looks good and he does the same for me. We chat about what we might buy and colours etc and often shop together.

I make a lot of my OH's shirts, as he prefers them to shop bought ones. He is quite long-bodied and has a bit of a stoop to his shoulders so any that he buys ride up at the back and look far too short. Mine fit him better! I know he colours he prefers and buy the fabric in those, but sometimes I will buy some that he may not have considered before but that I think will suit him. So far, so good.

Other than that, no I don't offer an opinion unless asked or if there is an obvious stain somewhere very noticeable that he hasn't noticed!!
