Is it acceptable for husband to wear white M&S vest in public???

[Bejam2014]

I feel very embarrassed when he wears a white vest that is clearly an underwear vest walking the dog and going to the local Tesco express. I really don’t like it and ask him to change or put a top over it. None of the family will be seen out with him like this.

Not really no but I suppose it's a smidge better than going bare chested.

Is his name Onslow?

If it is, it's perfectly acceptable.

If it's not, then he shouldn't be offended when people make that mistake.

Does it fit? Are his nipples covered? If so then I don’t see the problem! Why are you trying to control what he wears?

My husband will wear a white vest occasionally and honestly, he looks great it it 😂

So it's fine for women to go out in strappy camisoles but not for men to go out in sleeveless t shirts (aka vests)?

Yes, I think it’s perfectly acceptable.

It's a hell no from me.

It's not a look I would particularly like my partner wearing, to be honest, but women go out in little vest tops all the time, so I don't see why a man shouldn't be able to.

Mmmm... i wonder what the Mumsnet reaction would be to men declaring women's clothes to be unacceptable in public places?

Definitely not.

As long as it's not a string vest 😀

Many years ago, one of my favourite t shirts was a small mens vest. Admittedly it was black not white and short sleeved not sleeveless. It was really useful for hiking or any occasion where a casual black top long enough to tuck in was req

Does he buy cans of stella in the Tesco Express and drink it on an old sofa in the front garden?

Agreed, but it is true that there are some shockingly skimpy outfits that one notices when out and about 🤣

Is it what they call a wife beater vest or is that a string one?

How is an underwear vest different to a non-underwear vest?

Either way, it's fine. Does he tell you what you are allowed to wear?

Legally? Yes
Socially? No

But it’s not just a vest… it’s an M&S vest
😆

It's certainly acceptable, for it to give you the ick. 🤢 plus those other poor women, who are forced to see it 😆 🤣

Would it be acceptable if that was the case? Or not? Bit difficult to know.

First world problems he can wear what he wants. Other people are.

I think the string one is 1970s dad in the garden vibes. I can't recall my own dad doing this but I picture neighbours mowing their lawns

It’s acceptable if you have low standards. Otherwise, obviously NO!

Vest top for men

Does he look like this?

If he's Antipodean or in his twenties, fairly culturally normal. If not, I'd call it a brave choice... But as I don't like having what I wear policed, I'd say it's still his choice, (not saying you have to like it).

Grim but better than topless I guess.
