How can I prove to my husband that it is no fun wearing dresses and heels?

Question

My husband hates it when I wear sweat pants or jeans around the house or when we go shopping. He says I never dress up anymore. He also wants me to start wearing skirts and dresses more often. He is constanly nagging me. How can I get him off my back? I really hate heels, pantyhose and wearing anything but pants or shorts.

Answer 1

Go out to eat wearing high heels, panty hose, and a dress. Before you go out to eat cut a little hole in your panty hose. Pretend to trip and hurt you ankle really bad. Rip that hole in your panty hose bigger, then open your legs real wide and say, " Honey I really don't like what I'm wearing. See what happens? "

Answer 2

Sorry, but I tend to side up closer to your husband on this one. You're probably a beautiful wife, and you're husband appreciates things that are feminine and beautiful.. He wants that attraction of beauty and femininity to be found in you and not someone else.

But instead of skirts and heels, you're in sweats.. and hate wearing anything but pants and shorts. I don't think that he expects you to dress up everyday, perhaps once a week. Maybe you can use times you go out to eat or shop as excuses to dress up. When you dress up remind him that you love him.

As far as making him wear 5-inch heels, pantyhose and a dress, well, it would make a point, but a silly one. By doing so he might appreciate what you do for him. Still it doesn't make a good point. If he isn't comfortable wearing them then does that mean that women should not get dressed up??? Perhaps we should stop women from wearing heels and skirts because men can't wear them... If you try that out, just do it for laughs - your point is well taken.

Answer 3

It might not be any fun, but he appreciates you dressing well on occasion. You should humor him some. I'm not suggesting that you dress like June Cleaver 100% of the time, but on occasion when going out.
Show him that you still care about looking good for him sometimes. It will go a long way. Just make sure its on special occasions. Make a date night once a month...

Answer 4

Plainly Refuse. Tell him that you would love to see him in a suit (or something else he hates to wear) and refuse to be around him until he puts it on (or annoy him) to get back at him or ask him why he married you. Was it really because you dressed up beautifully? If he still doesn`t get it tell him it`s the 21st century and he didn`t marry Donna Reid. Sooner or Later he`ll come around.

Answer 5

if you are interested in being pleasing to your husband, which i assume you are, by asking this question. then cheat with gouchos, and skorts, and buy jeans, pants, shorts that are flattering and dont just fit you, but really look good on you. as far as high heels. point out women's feet with bunyons, corns and calluses and ask him if he wants your feet to look like that after years of wearing heels and pointy toe shoes that do real damage. check out cute comfy shoe brands such as born, aerosoles, and easy spirit ---there are more to explore as well. Nothing is as beautiful as being comfortable being you...tell that to your husband

Answer 6

Mrs. Swanson....

If your husband would like to see you wearing heels and dresses, then it's probably because he's seen other women wearing them and they looked nice in them.
He's only trying to get you to look as sexy (in his eyes) as they do. Okay, if you don't like wearing heels and dresses all the time, sit down and have a talk with him. Let him know how you feel about wearing heels and dresses and after you've let him know how you feel, hear him out. Us 'poor, dumb guys' can really be understanding if you give us a chance.
Now my question to you: Why do you hate wearing them? Do you feel you don't look good in them? Are they too restricting? Before you can diagnose why your husband wants you to wear them, you have to be honest with yourself and ask yourself why you don't want to wear them. I know heels can be uncomfortable at times, what with the different styles and all and sometimes a dress isn't as comfy as a pair of shorts or pajama pants or even sweats. Now, once you've both talked, it's time for a compromise. Maybe instead of heels, you could wear a wedge sandal or slides that have a heel. Both of these shoe styles are very comfortable and fashionable. In addition to being comfortable, both styles go great with just about anything a woman wears, which brings me to your next concern.
Why not opt for capri pants with those wedge heels or slides? A nice colorful top, coupled with a pair of capri pants and slides or wedge heels, will have him saying: "Honey...you look great!" Why not let him have a say so in the kind of capri's or shoes he would like to see you in? Guys know what they like to see on the women in their lives (and I'm one of them) so give him an opportunity to tell you what he thinks would be flattering on you. As far as the pantyhose issue, why not try long-legged slacks and knee-highs. He doesn't have to know that you aren't wearing pantyhose with your slacks unless you tell him. If you are going to wear the pants and shorts around the house, just make sure they are flattering to you and your figure. Most women, when they've gotten the "Youneverdressupanymore" speech from dear, old hubby or boyfriend, are wearing tattered and unflattering shirts, shorts or pants, which most of us guys do not like to see. Granted, a nice, ripped pair of Levi's might feel comfortable on us guys, but we don't want to see the women in our lives wearing the same thing when we go out in public with you.
In short, don't give your husband any reason or opportunity to look lovingly at other women. Again, he's probably seen some very flattering dresses and heels on women he's seen in public and he just wants you to look as appealing. Once you two have talked, I'm sure he'll let you know how he feels about seeing other women in heels and dresses and will be more than willing to compromise.

Answer 7

well i see it in 2 different ways, and please dont take offense to the 2nd...its just my honest opinion.
1st- your husband should accept you for you and should not object to how you want to dress.
on the other hand....
2nd- i am sure your husband thinks you are very beautiful and he wants to see you look fancy once in a while, as opposed to looking frumpy all the time. its not fair for him to have to see u not making yourself look good for him. i would be upset if my husband started refusing to dress nice and to shave and all that, when your partner takes care of themselves and dresses up for you it lets them know that you care enough to still want to impress them after all these years, this does not mean they think you look bad.
anyway, i love being comfy too but i also love impressing my husband when i can, it makes him feel really good, its so cute! he drools all over himself like when we 1st met. :D
good luck!

Answer 8

it rather is lovable. yet heavily, if a woman does not choose to gown up in heels, she has a concern. Take her to Macys or someplace staggering and p.c.. out some thing you like to work out her in. possibly she will have the means to get the hint. i desire.

Answer 9

Um yea. If he isnt willing to wear them than why should you. Its not about looks anymore; its about comfort and if it makes you awkward to move, then dont wear it. And tell him you dont have to dress to impress anymore beacuse youre married.

Answer 10

Get him some 5" heels and make him wear them, on his feet, for a day. Then ask him how his feet and legs feel. :-)
