Women with male spouses/partners: Would you let him pick out clothes for you?

[bicentennial_baby]

Sniffa picked out 3, count them, 3 really cute tops for me last week. Not only that, they were in the clearance section! :o

Would you let your better half do that? If so, what result would you get?

:D

[NMDemDist2]

1. oh hells yes

my hubby has a great eye and is my #1 fashion consultant

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

5. What did he say about that infamous dress you bought?

:rofl:

:hi:

[NMDemDist2]

17. he threw it away

and there's your proof

:rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

2. M is very good at picking out sweaters at Kohls.

He knows what colors I like. Pants, not so much.

[bicentennial_baby]

3. I'm very picky about my pants, since I'm practically a dwarf with

legs that are two very different lengths. :rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

20. Yup, and I have abnormally long legs

[FloridaJudy]

4. Umm...no.

I don't have a partner at present, but as I recall if I had allowed my ex to pick out my clothes I would have been arrested for indecent exposure.

[bicentennial_baby]

7. I had one of those once...

He thought crotchless panties were a romantic Valentine's Day gift...oh, and Christmas too. :rofl:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

34. Those are called "drive-throughs".......

:rofl:

[Skittles]

6. oh fuck no

[bicentennial_baby]

9. Hehe, I got lucky

:D

:hi:

[sniffa]

8. I may be a cheap bastard but I still have taste

The mens' section had awesome clearance. The womens' section was mostly atrocious. I mean, even my mom wouldn't wear some of those outfits (I hope) and you've seen how she dresses. I worked long and hard to pull the acceptable ones (and a couple I knew you'd like).

I was pissed though - I was going through that entire section, picking out all of the ones I liked and the maybes and keeping them together for when you got back from the changing room.... and some woman came and grabbed the cutest top I found. x(

Always start at the clearance section.

[LeftyMom]

10. I'm a funny size.

I don't think he'd grab anything I wouldn't wear (we have similar taste in pretty much everything) but who knows if it would fit. Then again, that's why I don't buy him any clothes but t shirts.

[Starry Messenger]

11. ((shudder))

You are lucky. Mine's a sweet guy, but no eye for color or style. I'd probably end up looking like a mash-up of Tank Girl and Melanie Griffith.

[Shakespeare]

12. Oh, HELL no.

I'd look like some freaky cross between a hobo and a hooker. :rofl:

He is able to dress himself quite nicely, though--I just wouldn't trust him to pick out my wardrobe.

[Haole Girl]

13. Nope

Everything would have cleavage down to my navel! lol

[cynatnite]

14. Not just no, but HELL no...

I love my husband dearly, but I haven't allowed him to dress our children since our oldest daughter was in first grade. Stripe pants and flowered shirt. Yep, he did. I lectured him about the girls wearing matching clothes.

He has no sense of style or even what matching clothes mean. Garanimals didn't help either.

So, no. He's not allowed.

[LaraMN]

15. I have and it's been a mixed bag.

He has a tendency to buy me very tiny-sized clothes.

[1gobluedem]

16. Sometimes

He just bought me awesome Swedish fleece lined slippers and I like his taste in coats. But sweaters....no. It's as though he never looked at me.

[LadyoftheRabbits]

18. I think he'd do well, if he tried

(How much of this answer is based on the fact that he could read this? We'll never know. :P)

[RadiationTherapy]

19. I am good enough for when she is there.

But I would never bother buying her clothes that she didn't approve of before we got to the register; I ain't THAT good.

[av8rdave]

21. I would not let my SO let me

I know that she would feel obligated to wear whatever I got out of respect for my feelings, meaning that odds are she would wind up wearing crap she doesn't like.

She has way more taste in clothing than I do. If I want to buy her clothing, she really appreciates a gift card to one of her favorite stores. I think she enjoys clothes more when she picks them out herself. (And she looks a lot better!)

[mcctatas]

22. Wow, you could rent him out as a personal shopper!

I have let my partners pick out clothes for me in the past with mixed results. I either ended up looking like a tramp or a prude

[PaddyBlueEyes]

32. Love of my life, light of my heart

If you EVER wear what I picked out for you in public....You are a dead woman!

[mcctatas]

43. You should have told me that earlier!

:hide:

[Marrah_G]

23. My guy loves to take me shopping

he picks things out, I try them on, and damned if he doesn't have great taste. The really odd part is that this is a big burly, bald, football coaching, jock type, 50something man...........NOT the type you expect to see looking through the racks at a womens store.

And don't even get me started on the lingerie........

He also cleans and does laundry and yardwork, cleans the pool........... yeah I am SO KEEPING HIM!

I seriously lucked out.

Oh yeah....he lives 5 minutes from Salem too.

He is perfect :)

[Left Is Write]

24. Yes, I would and have; Mr. LIW is pretty good at knowing what I like and what size to buy.

[Kali]

25. um NO

He MIGHT be capable of grabbing work clothes but...just NO.

His gifts tend to run to strange mood lights or tools. I likes tools.

[AwakeAtLast]

26. I have and I would again

Mr. AAL has good taste in women's clothing.

:thumbsup:

[surrealAmerican]

27. I'd probably like what he chose.

He has a good eye for color and style, but he would spend way more than I ever would.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. My ex used to wear black socks with sandals.

So, the answer would be no.

[Dystopian]

29. Oh that Sniffa!

:hi:
What a sweetie...true love, great taste.
:loveya:

And a smart shopper...clearance is the first place to go! Love has no price tag.
I totally trusted my ex, and the ex before that:blush: I always got the coolest stuff.
And what's strange, I happened to notice that I'm wearing a shirt that he (last ex x( ) picked out when we were shopping at the Salvation Army...
I love shopping with cool old guys who don't know anything about fashion...
They know exactly what I like....

peace~

[auntAgonist]

30. He does buy me clothing and has excellent taste.

He can put outfits together quite nicely.

He knows how to shop for a bargain too.

:hi:


lucky, aren't we?

kesha.

[fortyfeetunder]

31. Not very often.

i hate it when he tries to guess my size. We have had some disasters recently on his dime....

[Fleshdancer]

33. Yes

My husband has done it a few times (usually for Xmas) and I can only think of one thing I didn't like but the rest were great.

[SarahB]

35. Maybe.

That's assuming he'd have any interest in it (which he doesn't... he barely will shop for his own clothes). On second thought, he'd probably pick things that made my boobs pop out! :rofl:

[WinkyDink]

36. HELL, NO!!! I hatesss men in the women's sections! Sorry to those who are offended!

[HopeHoops]

37. My wife HATES shopping - I buy almost all of her clothes (and I'm good at it).

[azmouse]

38. Not just no but hell no.

My husband's terrible taste in clothing is one reason I stopped the Xmas gift giving many, many years ago. It was to spare his feelings. I had a hard time bringing myself to wear what he would buy.

[MissMillie]

39. I'm too picky, so probably not

if I had an S.O.

[Shell Beau]

40. My husband knows my taste. I would let him pick out some things.

I buy all of his clothes.

I found out that he has funky taste in women's shoes though.

[lukasahero]

41. He already does

My husband has exquisite (and expensive) taste and knows my style so he does shop for clothes for me with fair frequency. And I almost always bring him along when I have to shop for myself so he can beat me around the head when I pick up something lame.

[fizzgig]

42. i don't know that i would be dressing much differently than i am now if he did buy my clothes

i usually look like i got dressed in the dark, but he doesn't care a bit about cute or sexy or anything like that, so i would be a less cute fashion disaster. :silly:

[EndersDame]

44. I would be wearing some trampy and or tacky ass clothes

If my better half was buying for me. I let him buy underthings for me since he gets more pleasure out of them

[Beer Snob-50]

45. MY WIFE WOULD NEVER ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN

in fact, she has a hard time with me picking out my own clothes. oh well.

[LiberalEsto]

46. God, no!

My husband is severely sartorially challenged.

[ChickMagic]

47. Oh yes.

Dear husband is great at picking stuff out for me. I hate, hate, hate shopping so I'm glad he has good taste. I have to watch him in the men's section, though. He shoots like a laser beam at shirts that are see-through with heavy embroidery. My dad always gives him a hefty gift card at Christmas and that means I have to go shopping. Bleh. It's funny that he can do so well for me but so poorly for himself.

He even picked out Victoria's Secret lingerie for me that was incredible. He found the one set in the store that was made for comfort. Leaving his own pevvy nature aside, he actually picked something he knew I'd love.

Definitely a keeper. :)
