Why are those 'comfy trousers' in Freudian's link described as trouser in the catalogue? Trouser noooo.

One of Dh's uni mates has taken to Cotton Traders rugby pants now he has errr, lost his rugby playing physique got fat. They took the piss mightily. He gave the worlds tiniest shit "you can all laugh (they did) but these are the future" --not if dH ever wants to engage in congress with me again they aren't.
Also, out with dd today, I noticed a new shop. "Oh no, it's a bit Bon Marche, mum" that's me told.
And dh thought Hotter shop was a type of Anne Summers type of place.

DP showed up on our second date sporting a beige jacket. Gabicci it was.
Should I have run?

Cocolepew · 18/04/2015 23:01

I was eyeing up a beige Harrington the other day (Im not a bloke).
I was thinking it would go with everything , then gave myself a slap and moved on.
A teacher where I work is always in cords. He's a bit chubby and you can hear his thighs rubbing together from miles away.
He sounds like a cricket.

My DH is 35 and wears brushed cotton plaid shirts.

But he is, as someone said, an American. And does occasionally cut down trees. So I suppose he gets a pass.

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 19/04/2015 06:38

I possess a beige jacket and matching trousers. HOWEVER, they're only worn with a straw trilby (college hatband of course), brown shoes amd NEVER in a built up area, except for the Britosh Museum.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 19/04/2015 06:57

Errr

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 19/04/2015 06:58

Who wants to tell him? Grin

headlesslambrini · 19/04/2015 07:25

My DH has has a full tweed suit - £240 quids worth includes flat cap and stupid sock with a flappy bit on the side to go in his wellies. Why did I have to fall for a country guy when I am a definite towney?

I have told him that I refuse to acknowledge him in public.

AndyWarholsOrange · 19/04/2015 08:04

My DH is 50. He has recently bought a tweed jacket complete with elbow patches. That I can cope with. What I am really struggling with is his new 'lounging' outfit which consists of T shirt, grandad pyjama trousers tucked into his socks rounded off with slippers. I am seeing a solicitor next week.

BaronessBomburst · 19/04/2015 11:20

CheerfulYank Does he like to pick wild flowers?
Just wondering........

BaronessBomburst · 19/04/2015 11:22

Noooooo! I've got Chums in that bar thingy on the top of my phone screen.

IDismyname · 19/04/2015 11:40

My DH (52) has been wearing those norwegian patterned jumpers for years. They were confined primarily to the house and garden

Then they became all trendy a few winters ago and he thought he looked the bees knees! My reasoning fell on deaf ears, and he wore them EVERYWHERE.

Now, I seem to be in a constant battle to keep him away from stuff like this:

Bomber jacket - In Beige, of course...

Kundry · 19/04/2015 11:40

DisgracetotheYChromosome please can you come and have words with my DH.

On our romantic holiday in Italy last year, DH presented himself in beige linen suit, black shoes and black socks. How I didn't leave him on the spot is a mystery.

CheerfulYank · 19/04/2015 14:28

Baroness he and the children pick them for me sometimes :o

PetuliaGristle · 19/04/2015 14:35

Haven't read the whole thread but did anyone see comedian Alun Cochrane's beige casual jacket on HIGNFY last night? Wrong on so many levels...

takemeuptheeiffeltower · 19/04/2015 15:22

Maybe not today. maybe not tomorrow but soon OP you'll look down and realise that you too are wearing beige. Probably a beige skirt with a sensible elasticated waist.

Squoosh, that day has already come.
Have you seen the sheer amount of patterned trousers you look like you're wearing your pj's despite what you may think in the shops at the moment, that have elasticated waists!

Elasticated waists are the beginning of the end I tell ya.

takemeuptheeiffeltower · 19/04/2015 15:23

OP, as long as you don't start wearing one of those hideous fleeces with animals on them! Shock
