Are you into fashion? (1 Viewer)

[Rickboy]

As mentioned by some others, over the last few years I dropped weight, grew out my hair and beard, and have tried to look a bit better so my wife isn’t embarrassed.

A couple weeks ago I had to make a presentation at Apple HQ in Cuppertino. One of my coworkers snapped this at the Apple Visitor center.

I picked up a Ted Lasso hoodie while I was there.

I've said that my girlfriend has a good fashion sense and a bit of a clothes horse

When she gets new clothes she likes to try the outfits on for me and asks me what I think

I like it, she looks good

So, I say, "I like it, you look good"

And then she'll stand there looking at me and I'll look at her

That is not sufficient

What she wants is for me to talk about it for five minutes like I'm a judge on Project Runway. Which she knows isn't a talent, strength or remote interest of mine

After a while she'll start talking about herself like she's a designer on Project Runway

A whole five minutes?

A whole five minutes?

feels like it

 

[Madmarsha]

"What she wants is for" [her to be an] ...... "interest of mine"

This resonate at all?

I want to talk to the genius who thought it was a good idea to bring back high waisted jeans and square shirts for women.

Whoever you are kiss my a$$!

then add bangs and feathered back on the sides and bingo, we're back in the 90's with a look that was bad then and hasn't aged well.

Oh sure, and there is plenty of that

I just think it's fine for her to have interests I have zero interest in and vice versa

I'm sure there are a ton of wives out there who never want to hear another word about fishing, the ins and outs of grilling or World War 2 minutiae


and he's perfectly happy being there for hours. Win-Win

Bonus points if when he gets bored of video games he can put on Robocop, Predator or Rocky 4

Into fashion? I can’t even remember if the socks are supposed to match the shoes or the pants!

This isn't "interests", this is about her wanting to look good for you and you appreciating that.

Unless she's asking you to write an article for WWD.

It's pretty simple unless you wear wild colors. If you wear black slacks, wear black shoes and black or or maybe gray socks. Same with tan or brown. Don't mix the browns and blacks. Now if you are are a suit and tie with sneakers kind of guy, I really don't know what to tell you, I just don't understand that one.
It's perfectly fine not to know these things, or even remember them, I have been explaining clothing and colors to my husband for 35 years.

I do know the shoes should match the belt because my father told me so. He also told me there is one tuxedo color, and that is black. When I went to my high school prom in 1979 many wore white, powder blue, and even yellow tuxes. Two buddies of mine and I were the only 3 in black and dad said "You, Jed, and Glenn will be the only ones able to look at prom pictures in 10 years and not be embarrassed as hell" One of my friends wore a white tux with top hat and tails and dad told him "I had no idea the circus was in town"

The ruffled shirts really set off those powder blue tuxedoes

I styled my wedding a lot on my parents' 1950's wedding when white dinner jackets were a thing. So I made my husband and the groomsmen wear it. I hoped to start a trend. I didn't.

Also my husband had bought his own jacket and tux pants for "formal night" on our honeymoon cruise. He looked like a waiter.
