Help me bring my DH into the 21st century!

We have a wedding next weekend and DH will be wearing a suit. :( he's decided against the kilt this time!

Whist looking through his shirts and ties I realised he is stuck in an awful time warp. He wears suits to work and mostly has plain shirts and the most ghastly selection of ties. He is not inclined to go shopping for himself and finds it an ordeal. So we have agreed that I will take on the task of updating his wardrobe.

Any tips re good places for shirts/ties? And waht do you think of the \link{http://order.next.co.uk/page.asp?b=X37&p=334&o=1\middle shirt here with the red tie}? with a navy blue suit for a wedding?

He looks really good in red which is why I went for the red tie.

I have a black dress with pink accessories. Trinny and Susannah would not be pleased!

I think it is a bit boring!

Next do some nice ties and shirts though.

Dh sounds the same as your Dh. I chucked loads of things out and we went to Next and Gap and bought him lots of things.

Take him shopping and stick him in the changing room and take lots of clothes in for him and see what works.

what about the pink or pale blue (top right)?

Gillian76 · 24/04/2006 20:12

Is it possible to justify the cost of a Boden shirt? :)

Maybe it's the models I like...
