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.

I wear a tank top when I head out in my Adidas tracksuit to Bayley & Sage. Your hubby is fine.

Its fine, its a cami top for men

A white vest designed as outer wear is fine. A white vest designed as underwear is not fine. In most cases it is possible to tell the difference between a garment designed as outerwear and one designed as underwear, even if on paper the fit and style are similar. I would say exactly the same for women; a vest top or crop top are fine, an underwear vest or a sports bra are not. If the vest is designed as underwear then it really needs to be under something if out in public, otherwise it’s akin to wearing pyjamas - it may not be indecent but it’s still going to elicit judgement.

If only 😜😛

If hes tanned with rippling muscles; yes
If he looks like Onslow; not a chance 🤣

It’s not attractive but can’t see a problem with it. He’s covered and it’s not much different to a white t shirt jus with his shoulders out.

In America they call those vests wifebeaters.

Ah, go on, tell us all what 'certain community' wears white sleeveless tops.

I don't think I could get stressed about what someone wears to walk the dog or nip to a corner shop. It's not like he's wearing it out to dinner.

If woman can shuffle around in dressing gowns and furry slippers then why not.

But yes I judge. I judge the woman in their night wear shopping. I judge the young men pushing prams, sipping Stella at 11am in my home town when I go home. I have enought side eye for everyone 😄

Only if he has excessive underarm hair and an egg yolk stain down the front.

Good for him, better than his bare chest, man boobs and shit tattoos

Is he stac

Ked?

I mean it’s M and S so maybe ok.

I love that your post came in two parts

It could look quite acceptable, even sexy on some blokes. As long as it was very bright white and clean. And not sweaty looking.

I bet the dog still loves him 😂

I think I would suggest an actual vest top rather than a white cotton underwear vest, but as long as it's not a greying string vest it's OK

No

I really don’t see a problem with this - perhaps your husband is embarrassed to be seen in public with you at times. My husband and I have very very different tastes in clothes and I think he wears some truly horrendous clothes - he has a large collection of tweed jackets and flat caps - but I would never complain about his appearance to anyone else.

My husband will go out in a vest- i dont like it but can't say it bothers me. I usually just joke with him and we say he looks like a down and out

Onslow definitely springs to mind.

But what about a man telling his wife what is and isn't acceptable for her to wear in public?

If it's her underwear or jimjams then he should!
