To find DH’s outfit for dinner really unsuitable?

[MarieJh]

Meal out at a nice restaurant yesterday. DH wearing smart trainers, jeans and…a black Stone Island roll neck jumper. With badge on sleeve.

He says it’s smart/designer and suitable for the occasion.

I disagree. AIBU?

A decent pair of dark denim jeans with leather, non-sportswear trainers are completely appropriate for a meal in the vast majority of nice restaurants. Even most Mayfair restaurants are happy for you to wear jeans provided they're not ripped/distressed styles.

OP, I loathe Stone Island but smart jeans, trainers and a roll-neck jumper are perfectly OK to wear to a restaurant.

I’ve just looked it up as I’m sadly behind the times these days and it looks like a smart, fitted rollneck that costs, checks again, £400 bloody pounds.

My, football hooligans have gone up in the world these days 😂😂😂

Most of them will be knock off. Seen some Dubious items with the badge on them.

A male should interpret "the situation" well enough to understand the correct dress code to lead into the event with his partner beside him, so she is comfortable in his presence without question.

IMHO, if you are questioning his etire then you are questioning the respect within your relationship.

I'm just back from a high end restaurant where my brother (corporate attorney) was wearing jeans scruffy trainers. No one cared, noticed or had a worse experience for it.

Stone Island to me is a brand for a certain type of 'geezer' when he is doing 'geezer' activities. Like watching football or shouting at the telly or drinking in the boozer with Danny Dyer.
But my DH wears some questionable things too. I had to put up with a diamonte encrusted tight t shirt he wore to a party with me once. He is 52. I was not impressed.

You can buy the badges and sew them on to clothing.

🤣 it’s not 1985

This is the first thing that came into my mind.

I wouldn’t know a Stone Island jumper from an M&S jumper, and only know it’s a roadman brand from teens in my life. As long as he looks smart I can’t say I’d be that bothered.

😱 We need a picture.

The Casuals (as they were known back in the day) were always expensively dressed. A lot of Burberry, which I seem to remember the company being not particularly happy about.

I thank God that I have no idea what you are all going on about!

Trainers, jeans and a roll neck jumper with a visible brand is suitable for Wetherspoons not a nice restaurant.

These things must be really regional. In London people would be dressed exactly like that in all the fanciest restaurants. I still wouldn't want to be with someone wearing Stone Island.

I don’t see the issue with wearing a roll neck jumper? The outfit sounds a bit ugly but not inappropriate just casual.

I mean young men don’t wear shirts and trousers anymore do they? My husband even wears jeans to work in finance.

And jeans

Tradies make £150+ an hour so I’m not surprised they can afford it. The lower paid manual workers of the past are usually higher earners nowadays.

I found this way funnier than I should 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yep this never heard of the brand before but the Millwall/hooligan connotations are very amusing and are definitely painting a picture 😂🤣

That's what I thought roadmen were all about too!

It would be too outing as literally noone else would wear such a t shirt 😂

Outrageous.

he should have been in a tuxedo

It’s a bit chavvy, but I’m sure he looked smart.
