To ask aibu wanting ds to wear something other than tracksuits sometimes?

[sweaterweather2023]

Please help settle a light hearted discussion myself and my husband are having 😉

So I have an 11 year old boy who lives in tracksuit bottoms and sports wear. The company I work for are having a Christmas thing in a few weeks time for employees and family members including children.
I ordered a few things for ds today jeans, shirts ect but my husband thinks that ds is ok to go in a tracksuit as that's all he wears.
I think ds needs to learn there are occasions where he will need to dress up a bit more but dh thinks the world has gone a lot more casual now and what ds wears won't make a difference and that the only reason I want ds to wear the shirt and jeans is my own issues.
Thanks

My DS12 would not be seen dead in a tracksuit nor would any of his friends. It’s all cargo shorts (even if it’s snowing 🙄) or jeans or tech combat trousers here. And band or MTB t-shirts.

At that age I don't think your being unreasonable at all. Nothing wrong with jeans and a smart casual top.
When it's for a special occasion he needs to learn because he won't be able to wear a tracksuit to work or to weddings or certain places. Surely he wants to look a bit smarter as well.
