In not liking DP evening attire

DP is 45. Wears quite trendy clothes. I think he looks great.
However. He has taken to slipping into something more comfortable in the evenings! Oh my goodness! He has got himself some tracksuit bottoms from primark. They are BAD! A plum colour, all baggy round the knees and bum. He came into the room last night wearing an old crumpled sweatshirt and the bottoms. My DD 12 was laughing and saying Dad you look like a hobo (light hearted, he was laughing aswell)
He has agreed for me to get him some 'loungewear' for Christmas. Budget is low! Any ideas? What do your DH DP wear for relaxing?!

My dh is a very strange breed of human and will sit around in his jeans all evening Confused

I tend to wear mismatched and stained pyjamas so count yourself lucky with your dh!

VictoryOrValhalla · 09/12/2018 14:09

Shock your DD is a mean girl! Nip that in the bud ASAP!

I don’t see the issue. Man is comfortable at home when relaxing. Why does he need to be dressing to impress at home? Who see a him apart from his snobby wife and daughter?

Do you and your family regularly laugh about homeless people?

There's nothing wrong with what your partner was wearing. You sound horrible.

CarolDanvers · 09/12/2018 14:09

How exhausting to not even be able to wear what you like and feel comfortable in without comment from family members. It's a pair of joggers. Tell your kid not to make personal comments too.

BumDisease · 09/12/2018 14:14

Why does he need to sit about dressed up at home?

She basically called her dad a tramp? Confused

Let him wear what he wants in his own home OP.

Why should he feel the need to 'agree' that you can get him something to wear?

KonaMum · 09/12/2018 14:16

I think YAB a bit U to care how he looks when he is relaxing in his own home. My DH is scruffy as hell (think unironed shorts with paint or oil stains and holey lumberjack shirts) but I let it slide unless we’re actually going somewhere nice. He’s incredibly fit and muscular so I just remember what’s under the awful wrapping!

CookPassBabtridge · 09/12/2018 14:17

Let him wear what he wants! If my DP dictated what I wore in the house I would think he was controlling. Home is for relaxing.

SingingSands · 09/12/2018 14:17

Mine wears track bottoms and a tshirt. He could wear a binbag and a tutu if he wanted, he's at home!

NerrSnerr · 09/12/2018 14:19

Let him wear what he wants. Why does it matter what he looks like at home in the evening?

Moominfan · 09/12/2018 14:19

Your daughter sounds mean

blackcat86 · 09/12/2018 14:20

Can people not just slob about in their pjs in the evening at your place then? You and your DD sound very mean and judgemental. You probably need to nip that in the bud as it's rather unpleasant. DH is currently walking around what is probably the same joggers (but in navy) and a fleece. Hey it's Sunday and we haven't got plans so why not.

Vinomcstephens · 09/12/2018 14:29

You and your rude daughter would hate me and my husband then - as soon as we're home from work it's straight into pyjamas for the rest of the evening! So I guess your husbands trackie bottoms are a step up from us Smile

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 09/12/2018 14:30

Honestly I think his home clothes for relaxing should be his choice. As long as they are clean.

Firesuit · 09/12/2018 14:33

Tracksuit bottoms are what I wear when I dress up to go out. I wear PJs at home.

nobeer · 09/12/2018 14:35

Something like this?

You sound like hard work. My dh would walk around in his boxers if he could. Count yourself lucky

adaline · 09/12/2018 14:37

Can't he wear what he wants in his own home?

I wouldn't take to kindly on being told I wasn't allowed to wear something I found comfortable!

SerenDippitty · 09/12/2018 14:38

I thought you were goi g to say you don’t like how he looks in a dinner jacket and black tie!

onemorecupofcoffeefortheroad · 09/12/2018 14:40

You can get nice lounge wear for men at Next.
Just google "Next men's nightwear" and you'll come across what they call 'long sets' which are basically long brushed cotton pants with matching long sleeved T shirt tops.
I've bought these as gifts for my two sons and in the past my (now) exH - they look nice and are comfy to wear.
I think M&S do very similar too.

gamerchick · 09/12/2018 14:40

Your daughter doesn't sound very nice OP, even if she's getting it from you you need to slap that shit down.

Leave your husband alone, I'll bet you take your bra off when you get home like the rest of us Hmm

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 09/12/2018 14:41

Take your bra off when you get home Shock. Really? Why?!

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 09/12/2018 14:42

Don't get the angst tbh they're just trackies for chilling at home in. Leave him be.

CrazyToast · 09/12/2018 14:42

Can't a person relax in whatever clothes they want at home? Sheesh.
