Do you dress your spouse?

[k3am]

I'm on a computer for once, and things are slow! This is not at all baby related, but I think is very telling of our personalities..

Do you dress your spouse?

(I am basically finding any way to delay folding laundry...)

[babycaps]

He's a big boy. Although he asks for my opinion when shopping, he dresses himself and does a mighty fine job! He also dresses DS1 daily! Aside from now that I am on Mat leave, I never actually see DS1 in the mornings! DS is always adorably dressed w/o being douchy!

[k3am]

I buy socks, underwear, and undershirts for him. (Or he'd still be wearing the same ones from when we first met).

We did fashion boot camp when we first started dating - he had only ever worn what his parents bought, so it was all blue and all at least one size too big. It was fun taking him shopping and showing him about colors and cut and fit. He was like a kid in a candy shop and quickly developed his own (interesting) style!

The only time I voice an opinion on what he's wearing is if he asks for it, it's inappropriate (he wanted to wear shorts to a rehearsal dinner at a country club!), or it's horrendous.

His work/dress wardrobe is amazingly snazzy and all picked out by him. Casual... Not so much!

I wish he could dress DS. There's just too much going on. He ends up putting him in stripes and plaids or other odd combos. Or he plays it safe and will put him in an outfit I've put him in before.

Holy shit I typed too much.

Kind of an SS - MH is red/green colorblind, so sometimes he asks me to help him with matching. We usually shop for his clothes together.

[gahorseygal]

H dresses himself. I help him when it comes to clothes shopping, because if I don't force him to go he won't. He usually asks for input if it's a special occasion.

[westiemom]

H handles his own stuff and often picks out my stuff!

[jbeans27]

H is way trendier than me... He also picks out most of DS clothes and has bought a few things for DD that are adorable.

[tincupchalice]

I have veto power. He wears a uniform to work, so that takes care of 90% of everything anyway. Not that I particularly care, except when he tries to wear gray shorts with a different shade of gray shirt.

[birkmmm]

OMG my dh is a diva .... He has almost as many shoes at I do... I make fun of him for it but i must admit I kinda like it 😜

[walkek85]

DH dresses himself and buys his own clothes. He wears scrubs for work and on occasion wears a suit (love those days as he looks so good). He's a shorts/jeans and tshirt kind of guy for everyday wear.

k3am hear ya on the parents buying clothes a size too big. DHs parents totally did/does that.

fishbulb, you should totally get your H a pair of those glasses for colorblind people. I cry so hard at those videos of people seeing real color for the first time.

Aside from laundry, this poll was spurred by the acquaintance we have who dresses her husband for everything. I once heard her scold her husband because he wasn't wearing the shorts she'd laid out for him (because he'd gotten too fat for them).. They also wear coordinated outfits for the whole family every day of the weekend.

[CattyNattyRN]

H had horrible clothes when we first started dating.. He's the youngest of 3 boys and just really didn't care about clothes. I slowly started gifting him clothes and once we were engaged he basically had an approved wardrobe that wasn't handed down and looked like it was from the 90's. He now shops for himself. Except jeans. He seriously just thinks jeans don't come long enough for him.. Lol. I make sure they are.

[mrssqueegy]

I don't now. When we first started dating he had the worst taste in clothing. Now he's a great dresser. I might help him pick something for family pics so we go together. Otherwise he does his own shopping and dressing.

I have a friend like this. It's super annoying. We all went on vacation together a few years ago and I cannot tell you how many arguments they had about it. Ugh. I'm sure it still happens..

[snoris]

MH likes picking out his own clothes and knows what he wants for fits and prints. I go shopping and advise upon request for color. At the store he can never remember what he already owns and he has trouble matching ties. I've seen some scary combos haha.

[KirstenAlecia]

I buy all his clothes so i pick them in that sense....but he chooses what he wears on a daily basis. If we are going out somewhere I usually have input. He will ask me what i want him to wear.

[Sammich_Cat]

If he asks for input I'll give it, but otherwise not unless it's a true travesty.
The reverse is true for me.

[teraiin]

I purchase all of his clothes but he makes requests (aka I'd like a pair of dark jean shorts) and I get them. He wears a uniform to work so no issues there. He picks out his own outfits and probably has a better sense of what goes with what than I do.

[helloerrbody]

I buy all his clothes. I only help him decide what to wear for special occasions or nights out, though.

I should have just +1ed this.

+1 your +1 lol

Weddings and funerals and fancy events. Those are all I pick out, or have a say in, haha. He picks out his clothes when shopping but asks my approval. Poor guy still tries to wear navy and black no matter how hard I try to break that habit.

Navy and black is apparently okay now! Same with brown and black.

Never heard of the first, but the second is deeply ingrained; no backsies now!
