He insists on only wearing two or three things and tearing them up all the time. We have a neighbor who assumes I don't even buy him anything and just buy for me! It hurts, but it hurts more that I want to groom him nicely and he will let me for events and stuff but not at home.... Two of our children have commented on it and they dress nicely all the time partly because they think it's wrong he doesn't, it seems.
So guys...? Why do you not want to dress neatly and comfortably? Or is it just my guy?

Oh, he's particular about what he will wear. No jeans, soft stuff. Says he doesn't care about it at all really though as long as he doesn't have a split crotch or something.

He won't choose clothes.

I don't nag or bug him about it in probably three years. But I'm just curious. Sometimes we (people in general) have to dress up to make impressions, and he doens't seem to care, except one time this year when he dressed neatly and shaved and trimmed his hair of his own accord.
As for control, he has plenty of it.

I do only buy clothes he likes.... In colors and fabric feels he likes.... He's a khakis sort. The only thing I haven't gotten him recently is a fedora, but he should pick his own fedora, don't you think?
2006-09-30 19:52:51 · update #4
Erg. Guys! I AM just buying the stuff like what he pointed out before. He compliments it when he gets it and to be honest I think he doesn't care. He doens't care what any of us look like.

I guess it's alright since he never intends to work anyways. Why dress nice for church or job interviews or anything.... (Getting snide, sorry.)

It's habit mostly. What's comfortable and you don't have to think about it. I take away my husband's old torn up shirts when I want him to dress up a little and tell him they're in the wash - here wear this. Then I tell him how nice he looks and give him a big hug and kiss.

absolutely no longer authentic. ok, now i'd no longer be like tremendous Jessica Simpson form of warm, yet i'm genuinely faraway from gruesome and that i don't think of that fashion designer outfits are that important. possibly its because I dont come from an exceedingly wealthy kin both and we've continually had to purchase the more cost-effective outfits or placed accessible-me-downs, yet heavily, you'd be in type devoid of having to burn a hollow on your pocket. the first component I be conscious on adult adult males is their face and construct. Their outfits and upload-ons for me are frequently the finest component i look at. If a guy is sparkling and not in any respect dressed all sloppy then he will truly get spoke of by skill of sombody.. If I see a guy contained in the tremendous extreme priced fashion designer outfits, the flaws I that could want to come to my recommendations are a million.) he has alot of money 2.) he's out of my league and not in any respect extremely worth attempting for 3.) he's probable a jack ***. So there you bypass. wish that gave you some perception.

He would probably like to dress better but is feeling pressure to change which is really bad for some men. He wants to be in control and he can't when you keep handing him stuff he didn't buy. That or maybe he's like most of us men. We really like to be comfortable and the clothes we wear that make us comfortable aren't always the wifes first choice. Just let him be and don't worry about what the neighbors think.

What is value ?
- Fickle Fashion; comes round once every ten years or so.
- Familiarity.
- Comfortable.
- Substance over Form.
- Endearing.
- Timeless.
So one hears.
- If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
A few holes.
Well alright.
Several dozen holes don't count.
- Money is better spent elsewhere.
Here's looking at you.
- Historically engendered. (Ref. 1)
Given the diminishing powers of royalty and noblemen, this was in part a response to keep some semblance of order of the trading class (merchants) and professionals (retainers). Likely unavailable on the web, the Edwardian and Victorian ruling classes noted something to this effect (Ref. 2).
- the shirt needs to be sufficiently uncomfortable and pressed flat so that the person does not slouch;
- the collar necessitates and supports the upright and therefore regal posture of the head (mantle), as befitting the master of one's castle;
Design of formal office wear are such that original tenets ring true to that extent that one may be "hot and fuming under the collar" at work.
Incidentally, the ruling classes sought to instil the collar in that it would place restraint on the reasonable man not to act rashly. In this, not to offend the rising classes by the ruling classes.
(A step removed from the iron collar of Roman slaves. Simply cladding the swiftly rising tradesmen classes in iron collars would be poor deliberation of the ruling class whose fears are mentioned above.)
Finally, casual wear (Ref. 3) and emancipation !
Your deliberations:
Alas, was it emmental cheese that gave rise to holes or;
the happy coincidence of a sommelier's apparel in seasoning ?

Your man is not a kid, he is an adult. He can dress as he chooses. Why do women want to dress their man. You knew how he was before you got together so why should he change now? Many men do not view dressing the same way as women. Men in general, perfer relaxing clothing over style. If the man treats you like you want to be treated and respects you, why worry about what others think. Love your man for who he is.

Not just your guy. I love my man so much but he dresses like a 2 year old. He wears these jeans that are way tooooo big with a belt and a t shirt and sweatshirt inside out.......if not the sweat shirt then the tshirt has stains on it and I have to tell him every day to go wash his butt. He doesnt keep up on shaving unless hes working and I swear sometimes it enbarasses me. I hate his bright red friggen jacket he wears in the winter with his blue beany, he looks like a homeless drone. Trust me hun, your not the only one.

Why don't you just ask him what kinds of new clothes he would wear? Don't try to pick the styles; just buy the type he likes. If you can get him to a store, let him point out what he'd wear. If he won't, just buy new stuff that is just the same as what he usually wears. (Maybe you could slip in a "drastic" change, like a color variation.)

He probably hates people dressing him. I hated when my mother did that. I like to dress neatly but only when i'm out in public. When i'm at home i'm a t-shirt jeans type of guy.

You should only buy clothes he likes. My dad only wore shorts and a nice pull-over shirt. I mostly where black but the shirt must have a pocket to the top left of the shirt.....and it must be a pull-over......

That's just it. They want to be comfortable, they don't care if it looks neat. You can't change him but you can throw away the torn clothes. Who cares what your neighbor said, she's not amrried to you or him.
