I'd like to say things will get better but I have been with DH since 1983, he has gone from the Rapper look to the Grandpa lives in FL look, white socks with sandals, jeans high up almost under his nips...you get the picture..

 

[ncmickeyluvr]

Thanks for that. I just laughed out loud and I thought it was important enough to spell outright. Maybe my dh is a generation before the sag-n-drag but he came into my life with the opposite problem. The man wore Mom jeans I swear, it has taken me the better part of 15 years to convince him that his waist is NOT that high!

If you don't like the way kids these days dress, marry a grown up.

 

[mamacatnv]

to all of you!

When I met DH back in 1986, he owned 4 irons - he had gotten them all as gifts!

Thank God for DD 11 and her "DAD! You are NOT wearing that.......Are you?" Bless that man he loves his Princess far more than me. For, for her, he will change......

I've been trying to convince mine for the past 15 years that black and navy do NOT go together and that that yucky, meshy shirt is NOT a shirt to be worn on a "date"

 

[babytrees]

I also hate to keep saying: "Pull up your pants nobody wants to see your not so tidy whities" and the other one "In or out" (he often has his shirt tucked half in and half untucked)

I hope you are kidding! There are all kinds of cute little emoticons you can use so that we are sure to get your meaning. You get the drift.

If not, that was extremely rude and now these are appropriate.

Thank you- I needed a good laugh today

I feel your pain, and applaud your attempts at intervention Although my husband has NEVER been to Hawaii, he has an affinity for Hawaiian shirts, Most of which I have no problem with. There is one particular shirt of his that I just cannot stand it is cream with black designs , orange leaves and yellow flowers- YUCK it seriously looks like it should be dressing the windows at AKL. No matter how many special Harley Davidson dress shirts I buy him, he keeps that nasty shirt. He DOESN'T wear it just keeps it hanging in the closet, like a threat, almost as a way to convince himself he still has control over his wardrobe
Once I made a comment about an outfit he was wearing- nothing mean just a casual "is that what you are wearing?" He responded with "I can always wear the one you hate- smirk" So I chose my battles wisely, I could never throw it out . I know my minimalist husband would see it as the OK for retribution and dispose on some of my excess clothing! Besides, I am not even sure he really loves it-I think he just loves the fact that I hate it
Besides I am pretty sure it no longer fits, and he knows it
Good Luck!

When dh and I first started dating he had a plether jacket and these ankle zip up boots that I HATED but I didn't know how to tell him. Fate stepped in and his dog chewed them upyears later I finally told him how happy I was. Then I procedded to torture him about the clothes he still had from HIGH SCHOOL

First I will say I love you...no matter what things I have found out about you that annoy me in the past two years that I have been first your GF, then your Fiance, and now your wife (the fact you throw clothes on TOP of the hamper does top the list BTW)..I adore you with every breath I take..that being said:



PULL UP YOUR PANTS AND TIGHTEN YOUR BELT!!! You are not a rap star and I swear if I have to see your jeans sagging at the butt ONE MORE TIME I am going to call your mom and tell on you...that or smack you lol! Dude I know it must be a generation thing (or some odd thing that boys do that I as a normal woman will never "get") but the time has come to stop reliving your youth and wear your pants like a big boy! I have tried to keep my opinion on your (horrible) fashion sense to myself and employ stealth like tactics to change it...hence the "new clothing gifts" at holidays and your birthday...the "broken" washing machine/dryer that "rips, snags and shrinks" your clothes..and most recently the sneaky way I have resorted to buying you one size smaller on every shopping trip in hopes you won't notice that you are down to a 32x34 versus the 34x34 that you came into my care wearing..did you REALLY think you were gaining weight when the scale said the same 168 it always has...I just lied to you when I said the scale must be calibrated wrong...all part of my "evil plan" to drag you into fashion consciousness bwahaha..but its getting old!


Sorry, had to get that out..now I have to order him some 30x34 jeans from old navy online lol..

How old are you?

Have you tried, oh I don't know, actually talking to this "boy" you call a husband about his clothes choices, instead of thinking you're being all sneaky about it?

I would guess that conversing with him about his clothes choices would be a better way to get him to change what he's wearing instead of complaining to a bunch of strangers on the internet.

 

[FireDancer]

But how else is your husband supposed to show he is gangsta yo!?

 

[Arielle22]

When I met DH in the mid 80's he was wearing couduroy pants in the summer!

I buy all his clothes and he prefers it that way.

My problem with DH is he keeps wearing his casual clothes to work and paint around the house. So his "work around the house" pile of clothes grows while his casual pile shrinks.

Oh I do...when it's funny.

Being passive agressive isn't funny.

Does every single thing on the DIS have to be analyzed and found wanting? Seriously?

Ain't that the truth

 

[MomNeedsVacay]

my favorite fortune cookie said "A woman who seeks to be equal with men lacks ambition."
I just thought you would appreciate it.

Didn't you get the memo? Every little thing must be graded, judged and analyzed ad nauseum. Oh, and the spelling and grammar must also be corrected.
