My boyfriend rarely gives me compliments on my clothes. I'm a fashion maniac but he doesnt really seem to care about all the new trends. Like he doesnt even know what a skinny jean is!! I thought maybe he's just not into fashion so it didnt bother me.
He started telling me how he loves the girlish look and how he wants me to wear skirts more often becuase they look better on me. To my surprise, he actually got me a skirt for christmas!! I dont like when people shop clothes for me and yea it fits but it doesnt look right on me. I dont really like it and I dont wanna wear it but he insists it looks better than jeans on me! Yea I like skirts but I cant wear them all the time!!
Does that mean he hates all my other clothes? 'which btw are very trendy' - Should I wear what he likes when we go out even if I dont really like it!!?!

Men don't care about fashion like women do. The only thing that goes through a man's mind when you are about to go somewhere is "I wish she would hurry up. Just throw anything on and let's go" Trust me I've been married to my husband too long already and I learned pretty quick on how a man's mind works. Yes there are some things that men like to see more often on a woman. When a man sees a pair of jeans the only thing he looks at is the size and the price tag. That's it! Don't be offended by anything. When a man goes shopping for a woman he tries to think what it is that you are most interested in. For you, it's clothing and since he wants to see you in a skirt he compromised and bought it for you as a gift.

A few things to consider:
1. Maybe he thinks your obsession for fashion isn't that important (it really isn't). It takes time away from your relationship...and real life.
2. Take him shopping and let him pick a few things. Compromise is the name of the game when it comes to relationships. If you don't like how the skirt he gave you fits take it back (with him) and try on some that you like. Get his opinion too.
3. Perhaps your clothes aren't as trendy as you think. Some women over-do it. A truly gorgeous woman knows that "the classics" are classics for a reason. Look through the magazines. Notice something? All of the "real" beauties are wearing the classics. They're beautiful and they work. All that "hot off the runway" stuff is a joke. Real-life women doen't wear it because they know that it looks trashy, ridiculous...or both.
4. Get over yourself. Seriously! I'm not trying to be mean...but reread your question and look at how selfish and shallow you sound. He probably doesn't even care which brand you are wearing...and you shouldn't be offended that he doesn't. He's a GUY...they really don't care...though they do like it if you look "hot" sometimes. If your life revolves around what you are wearing then you need to re-organize your priorities. There are definitely more important things in this world. Start with a college education. The world doesn't revolve around you and your clothes. If you think it does then your relationship is doomed.
Good luck to you, and your relationship.

Men could care less about trends, but know what they like when they see it and if he likes and bought you a skirt for Christmas, then that is what he likes. That doesn't mean you have to wear it or skirts all the time because is your body and you should wear what makes you happy, but if you want to make him happy, compromise and at least wear the skirt a few times when you go out.
Only other females,way-out there metrosexuals and gay men are into trends so when you are dressing trending, you are only dressing to impress them when you go for trendy and fashionable.

OK..... first of all, just because it is trendy doesn't mean it looks good!!!! and it doesn't mean that it is going to be attractive to the opposite sex.
i think you have a good guy on your hands here.... he knows your interest is clothes and fashion. if you are asking him about what looks good on you all the time and he actually answered your question honestly, and then bought you what he likes on you, then great!!!
this is what you do..... plan a date, wear the skirt, spill some food on it and don't work to hard to get the stain out. act upset that the gift he gave you got messed up and take him shopping with you to replace it. while you are at the mall, point out what makes whatever look good on you.....
merry Christmas

He does not hate your clothes, guys are not into trendy fashions and are not up to date on things like that..That is not the way that they are wired....
He in his own way is telling you what he would like to see you in....The skirt he bought you, is something he likes...you may not think you look good in it, but he does....He is asking you to do something for him...so it would not hurt to wear it once in a while for him and maybe you can add some skirts and dresses...I do not think that he wants you to wear them all the time, but once in a while,...for him....
So there is no reason to get offended.

Wow. Get over yourself! Allow the guy to have an opinion. He's taken an interest and bought you something. So you don't like it. Big deal. He bought ONE skirt. Does that mean he wants you in skirts all the time?
Is it essential that he know what the heck a "skinny jean" is? Just because your life revolves around your wardrobe doesn't mean his should.

I tell you right now that your "boyfriend" has a "little girl fetish"! I bet he wants you more when you wear a "skirt" and look "school girlish"! It is a "sexual" fantasy that many men have and I would be suspicious of his change in attitude regarding your clothes. Just watch and see if I am correct, wear a skirt and see if he is more sexually aggressive with you. Good Luck! If I am correct, get rid of him, your too young to be "hooked" with a guy like that.

If you're not comfy telling him his gift isn't what you like, keep it and wear it sometimes when you guys are out together. I don't think he hates your other clothes but rather likes seeing your legs, lol. I would wear what you like, what makes you feel comfortable but at the same time mixing in what he likes too. A little compromising on your part will go a long way.

IT shouldnt matter what you wear... knock that chip off your shoulder!! Guys dont comment much at all!! And when they do... appreciate it, you got there attention. He should never shop for you... all guys know never buy a girl clothes.... Just give them the credit card. He just likes you in skirts!! He bought what he likes!! You are fine... just dont read so much into what you wear and what he thinks... He is your boyfriend!!

Geez, I'm a girl but I can't stand all that trendy bs and can't really stand girls who are slaves to trends. Some guys like a girl to be feminine and the styles out there really aren't. nothing wrong with that. Wear a skirt on occasion to make him happy and to please him because you care about him. I'm sure if you bought him something trendy he might wear just to make you happy.
