To think my outfits don't need to be ranked

My DP and I went away for a few days with some friends. On the third morning, DP announces that he's ranked my dresses for the long weekend, putting the second day's dress first, the first day's second, and that day's dress last. I hadn't asked for the judgement and felt the day feeling rather deflated about my apparently lacklustre outfit. Am I being unreasonable to think that he should have kept this one to himself?

What a weird thing to do!

Yanbu.

Did he also rank you against your friends, a la gossip magazine Who Wore It Best?

It's a backhanded compliment and will perversely influence what you will wear as you will want to look your "best". You now will want to wear the dress he like most. Male privilege.

Oh my God, tell him to focus on himself and leave you alone. There isn't a woman in the world that would want a partner telling her what to wear.

Did you not jump in and rate all his outfits as "Off to Oxfam"?

Depends on your relationship. If my DH had done this I would think it was a bit of normal couple banter and shows he takes notice of what I wear and appreciates my effort.
But he isn’t controlling or negative about my appearance generally. So its hard in this one example to see if it passes the vibe check.

He sounds like a creepy weirdo.

I could turn up in a bin bag with a toilet seat around my neck and I don't think my DH would notice.
