My husband is the same way. I pushed it him to purge some of his old tees and bought him some new clothes. I have pictures from various vacations where he is wearing the same tshirt. I want to throw it away, LOL.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. They do make those wicking shirts in a polo version (check the golf section) which can actually look quite nice with a pair of khakis. That being said, it's still not the best look for everyday. I suppose it's OK for running errands, but not on a date to a restaurant.

My guy's problem is he likes shirts with stupid sayings. One of his favorites has a picture of a weiner dog with an arrow pointing down to his crotch that says something like "say hello to my weiner" (honestly I can't remember what it says because I try so hard not to look at it and am embarrassed when he wears it in public!)

For you other ladies with fashion-challenged men, how do you gently approach the subject and get them dressing better? I tried buying him some nice polo shirts in all of his favorite colors, but he's worn one of them, one time. I've never even seen the others since I bought them. Any other ideas? I'm love my guy but hate his shirts!

Mine is stuck on the same rotation of 5-6 rayon hawaiian shirts. They're ok, but every day?

BTW- this cracked me up!!

My husband has a style... but he's not the least bit fashionable. Mostly t-shirts and shorts, year round, sometimes a button down over the tee. And I like it that way.

My ex-boyfriend was pretty much a high maintenance fashionista himself. I'll take my husband in a Beavis & Butthead t-shirt*, cargo shorts and work boots over a douche who took longer to get ready than me any day! :laugh:


* I bought it for him. :blushing:

YES! YES YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES OVER YES!! My ex, too, was a douche who insisted on buying stupidly "fashionable" (see: stupid stuff that no one but him and Italian male models in photographs wore)...and while he didn't take long to get ready, he still had that "I'm too sexy for your" attitude and it was beyond irritating.

My boyfriend now wears shorts and t-shirts year-round, pretty much (we live in Florida). He owns one pair of jeans for those few cold days we do get in the winter. :laugh: He also wears those moisture-wicking Columbia/Reel Legends shirts, short sleeve and long sleeved, for fishing...which he does a lot. I honestly don't mind his "style" one bit. He is a sport though, and always tells me "pick me out an outfit" whenever we go somewhere. I'd say a good 85% of his clothes were bought by me...the rest were bought by my mom, his mom, or stuff he's had since he was a teenager.

(see: stupid stuff that no one but him and Italian male models in photographs wore)

*shudder* Yes. A velvet sports coat. And no, he wasn't Prince. :laugh:

Prince would make me feel so un-fabulous. :laugh:

*shudder* Yes. A velvet sports coat. And no, he wasn't Prince. :laugh:

My old manager used to wear one of those every causal Friday.

Thanks Ocarina for the tip, I'll try the shopping with him. You're probably right that he just doesn't know what else is out there. It's not like he has magazines to consult like me lol

My husband is a T-shirt and shorts all the time kinda guy. He doesn't shave. Goes too long between haircuts and his hair grows unevenly.

LOL!! You just described my guy! The no shaving thing is recent, though, since he's only started growing out his the beginning of this month, which I don't mind since I like facial hair on men. The haircut thing...gah! He doesn't get his hair cut--he does it himself. Same cut every time...the only style he's ever had the 3.5 years we've been together. And he goes too long between cuts. He always has me trim up the back for him....and I always say, "Why don't you just go get it cut! Men's cuts are very cheap!" "Why would I do that, when I can do it for free?" He offers to try to cut my hair to help me save money, but noooo thanks. :laugh:
