Over the top to DRESS up or not ...

[Glitterzzz]

So next week it marks 6 years me and my husband first got together. I suggested a meal out together which we haven’t done in about 17 months alone with no kids... I just thought to mark 6 years since we got back together ( 2014 married 2019 ) would be nice.

It’s mid week and he isn’t a dress up kinda guy. I however feel I want to make a proper effort and have brought a really nice ted baker dress and plan to wear proper shoes with a small heel and a strap 😄😂 something again I don’t normally do .

I dunno. I just want to feel good about me and attractive and like hey look who you have been lucky to have for the last 6 years lol!!! But will I look a tit dressed up next to a guy in jeans and a smart polo?

Going to a proper restaurant, evening time

Would you pull out the wow factor or keep it casual ?

If it’s a proper restaurant then I imagine he will look underdressed (will they let him in in a polo shirt?) and you will look lovely. Go for it! Enjoy your night, it’s nice to make an effort.

Go for it and own it have a lovely night

Just do it. I have similar with dh - he lives in jeans, tshirts and trainers. On the very odd occasion he may wear a casual shirt instead of a tshirt. I’ll dress up if I want to - I’m used to it now. As long as I feel good about what I’m wearing I don’t worry about how I look in relation to dh!

thanks ladies . Good to hear it’s not just my OH who is a jeans and smart top kinda guy... I guess I just feel a little lack of self confidence which is silly really!

Go for it.

I always outdress my DH but I don’t care because I want to look fabulous!

Hope you enjoy it and congratulations on 6 years!

My ex-h refused to dress smartly for anything he didn't absolutely have to. His logic was that he had to dress smartly for work and he couldn't be bothered with it in his free time. He lived in old t-shirts and jeans (has since moved on to vests and jeans and looks like a healthier Rab C. Nesbitt IMO). I would always wear what I wanted. We didn't match, but I didn't want to be embarrassed turning up somewhere underdressed and didn't see why I couldn't wear nice things occasionally.

Haha we went for a family meal on Monday evening and I got all glammed up in a new top, heels, make up etc. DH was in his usual jeans and t shirt, my son was in a tracksuit 😂 I felt fab though! Had a lovely meal and felt like I’d been Out!
Go for it OP

Why should you dress 'down' for him if he isn't worried dressing 'up' for you? Where what you like

I always look better than DH !

Enjoy yourself and wear what makes you happy. How "proper" is the restaurant? I've been to a couple that wouldn't let your DH in wearing jeans and a casual top....

Oh it’s not too fancy of a place. I’m deffo going to wear what makes me feel good about ME who knows might encourage him to make a effort more next time !
