Since about a year ago, he will only wear black and white. This means that essentially he has only two outfits: his work suit (with white shirt and black/grey tie), or his black wool trousers with white shirt. Every day. Every single day - no matter what the occasion.

Today, for example, we were invited to friends for lunch. DH wore his suit, with white shirt. Christmas Day: black wool trousers with white shirt.

I know it's his choice, and he's clearly fully entitled to wear whatever he fancies, but I get irrationally angry about it. I find it so dull! Plus I think he looks odd, turning up dressed as an extra at an Eastenders funeral when every one else is in casuals.

Help me accept this. And I know the simple answer is that it's his choice, and of course it is, but.... Aaaggggghhhhh!

Can't he get some black jeans?

Sounds a bit weird. 'He will only wear black and white like someone on the Spectrum', or 'he will only wear black and white because he thinks he's in Madness'?

He'll only wear black and white as he thinks he looks stylish. He's on the chubby side and thinks he looks slimmer (I think), and also prefers looking smart to scruffy. I just can't seem to convince him that there is plenty of ground in between!

Black chinos maybe? What about a dark chocolate brown?

Think yourself lucky, you want to see the cr-p that my DH wears in the name of being comfortable Xmas Grin.
