Do we really dress to please ourselves?

I was dressed last night to go out with DH (Anniversary) just before taxi arrived I ran upstairs changed my dress and wrap.

Did DH notice of course not 🤣🤣🤣

I dress to please myself, but because I feel happy and confiedent when I do that people will react to me in a positive way.

I discovered, on a hosiery website, that I am a “dopamine dresser”
So I suppose I dress to please myself!

I dress to please myself. If I wore a bin bag, my husband wouldn't notice he has absolutely no taste, apart from marrying me.. 🤣

We are twins, who must have married twin brothers, separated at birth! 🤣🤣🤣

When we were first married, I used to lay out his office clothes, he could not be truster.
He was infamous among his staff, for wearing a woolly zipper under his sharp suit! 😉

If I make an effort when we're going out, DH always says "Oh! You look nice!" in a surprised tone, as if I never normally do

🤔

MaryDoll that made me laugh 🤣🤣🤣

Our friends and relatives always remark that DH only wears matching socks because I pair them up after washing.

When I give him the Paddington Bear hard stare he asks what am I wearing that’s wrong ?

Jane Austen got there first. I quote from 'Northanger Abbey'

Woman is fine for her own satisfaction alone. No man will admire her the more, no woman will like her the better for it. Neatness and fashion are enough for the former, and a something of shabbiness or impropriety will be most endearing to the latter

I must read that again, a short but lovely book.

I won it at school, end of year prize 🙂

I always put my partners clothes out ( unless it’s a suit).
He always says to me ^thats what I’m wearing then, is it^😂
Both him and my daughter say I have a look if they’ve got it wrong.
I swear I don’t do it intentionally.

My OH loves clothes,he has a wardrobe full of designer suits that have hardly been worn since he retired 2 years ago…but will he part with them?No way just in case he needs them.He,ll happily wander round shops picking up things he thinks are “just me”.He has more Italian shoes than I can count.Shame that he,s living in jeans nowadays ,he does look gorgeous in a nice suit

DH has got better but the other week he said he was ready to go out but was wearing a short-sleeved check shirt, clashing trousers and shoes which matched neither.

I did say "Surely you're not going out like that?" but he said he thought they went well together.

He did go and change but muttered a lot.

I do notice and do complement my wife often, only once has she got it wrong, it was a ladies garden party on a boiling hot day, I suggested a summer dress would be better than jeans, so she changed. I do ask her what she would prefer me to wear, other wise I match her choice.

If you want to go to a holiday destination as a nudist you had better be sure of the local rules and regulations!

I dress to please myself, but I do like it when my husband says I look nice.
Winterwhite I sometimes decide that something I’m wearing because I’ve already packed, looks good enough to take. It drives me mad!

DH is a Koumpounophobic (a fear of buttons), not extreme but sufficient to mean that in retirement he wears only jeans and T shirts and jeans and long sleeved sweaters.

Shirts with ties going out of fashion has been a godsend. He can pull the shirt over his head like a T shirt and leave the neck open.

I have always assumed DH was an adult and what he wore was up to him, if it was inappropiate, that was his problem, not mine. When he travelled on business, which he did a lot, he was capable of deciding what clothes he needed and packing them for himself.

I may have been the Household Manager, but I was not his valet.

Yes, I suit only myself in the way I dress. Did when married, do now as a single woman.

MrP rarely makes any comment about what I am wearing. However, I do know that he dislikes those wide legged trousers that are fashionable just now. Clown trousers he calls them and to be fair to him, they really don't suit my shape. I do admire them on other women, though. Apart from that I dress to suit whatever I am doing.

My DH, never comments about my clothes, so I wear what I want.
He wears what I buy him, he has no colour sense, always asked does this go? I would never trust him to buy anything for me. He bought me a jumper once for Christmas, my Neice asked him had he ever met his wife? That went back.
I don't trust him to buy his own clothes either. Thank good he wore a Military Uniform to work then a suit he only had to select a tie.
I recently asked him, if I went missing could he describe what I was wearing, laughing he said No.

I wear what I like, I never ask anyone’s opinion.
My husband wouldn’t know if I was wearing something I bought yesterday, or ten years ago,

My husband used to ask me to pick out three coordinated sets of shirts and tie and he would choose the one that appealed most to his mindset for the day. Nuts but I loved it. He was crazy fun......

Goodness, so many of you choosing your husband’s clothes and even putting them out for him! I didn’t even do that for my children, after they were capable of making their own decisions.

I think I have always dressed for myself. I wouldn’t wear something if anybody (not just a husband) said they didn’t like it, but on the whole they don’t.

I’ve always dressed for myself if my husband ever said he didn’t like it I’d still continue to wear it, he has his style I have mine. We both know which styles we suit
