What, out of your wardrobe, does your DP/DH hate?

Mine doesn't like my leggings or my oversized sunglasses and has forbidden me to buy a jumpsuit.

You?

He notices shoes; he complains that I wear flats too much (I'm much shorter than he is), but then once experienced me in very high heels for a friend's wedding, and hasn't complained as much since (I spent pretty much the whole time suggesting that we sit down)

But - he is French, so that might affect why he feels free to comment on clothing and his mother does it a lot. She refuses to let his father out of the house if he's badly dressed.

My wax jacket (fake barbour thing). He hates it. Says I look like a tramp in it (it's well worn loved Grin)

Apart from that, I think he's mostly not bothered or likes what I have. He does comment if things are a touch on the tight side though, which is probably a good thing. Blush

Can we say what he wears that I hate?
His Adidas shiny tracksuit bottoms - they rustle and the material is disgusting. And some dodgy old pleather jacket that he bought from a charity shop - it has fake sheepskin lining as well and he just looks like a complete used car salesman (Arfur Daley) in it.

I have a fab maxi dress with a floral pattern on it. I love it. Dh thinks I look like a granny in it. Ditto my navy pea-coat.

I wear them anyway to piss him off reinforce my independence.

Snickering at rustling trousers. Are they tearaways too? The ones with the poppers that can be ripped off in a hurry? I accidentally on purpose gave DH's pair away to the Salvation Army. He still hasn't forgiven me.

Thumbwitch · 29/08/2011 16:52

No, Pop, they don't do that thank goodness!! He's banned from wearing them for anything other than playing tennis though, otherwise I have warned him they will be burnt meet with an unfortunate accident. :)

My DH absolutely hates (and no doubt the S&B regulars will agree!) my Paul's Boutique handbags. He says they're for chavvy 'adventurous' teengaers, and I am a 30 year old professional Grin

I think they're a bit funky, and add interest to my dull classic wardrobe.

I make a point of using my most garish one when out with him Grin

DH hates my trackie bottoms. I don't blame him really.

just asked dh and he said 'nothing' - apparently my fashion sense has improved 10,000% in the last year. i am pleased with this, as i've been working hard to improve it.

the last thing i owned that he loathed was an orange fluffy cardigan. tbf he was entirely right, i have no idea what i was thinking.

magso · 29/08/2011 17:07

I have a long list of things DH dislikes ( basically anything comfortable, practical demure floral or warm or flat if footwear )- the challenge is to find things that suit both our tastes!!

Popbiscuit · 29/08/2011 17:08

Anything that is obviously new. He does a good catbum face. I do strategic wardrobe rearranging so that I can pull something out and claim that I've "had it for ages". He also loathes my bobbly jumpers (I love them). The more bobbles, the cozier they are IMO.
