Ways to improve my husband's sense of style

[TiffanyG]

I love fashion and looking my best whenever I can. I have a variety of styles and I enjoy going out in public when I am on my A-game, so to speak. My husband, however, thinks a bit differently about things. He exercises a lot so he tends to simply wear his exercise clothes (usually a tanktop or T-shirt, martial arts pants, and sandals) pretty much everywhere. Also his hair is usually wild and unkempt looking. He's in great shape and looks great regardless, but is there any way I might talk him into looking as good as he can, so to speak?

I have the same problem so am hoping you will get good advice

Lol, I'll bump the thread and hope someone can give me a good answer

Different because its my dad and not my DH but bear with me! My dad lost a lot of weight this year but hasn't changed his style accordingly (plus he hates spending money!) so is living in faded, baggy clothes. So I told him straight out last week that it needed to change as he looked dreadful and he should be proud of his weight loss and show it off. So I suggested if I buy lunch would he like a personal shopper session, and to my (and my mum's) amazement he said yes with no persuasion needed. It's all booked and only time will tell how much he buys but I can be very persuasive if necessary. I thought the personal shopper would alleviate the trailing round which he hates and hopefully will put together some outfits as a capsule type wardrobe for him.

Long story short - maybe a personal shopper trip is the way to go!

You can try. But my advice is to just accept that's his personal style

If he doesn't nag you to work out and get fit, why should you nag him to dress the way you want ?

Is he happy with his style? If so, leave him be!

@ A-game

He just has so much potential to look amazing. Once he jokingly tried on a pair of my yoga pants and I hate to admit it but I think he looks better in them than I do! Maybe I should buy him a couple pairs of skinny jeans to start out.

If this was a man trying to get his wife into what he considered " amazing " clothes instead of what she wanted to wear, we d all be calling him controlling .

Leave his wardrobe alone and just concentrate on enjoying that fit body in the privacy of your own home

I disagree, some guys just don't care about clothes like their partners and can forget that they need to look nice.

I had a word with my dp as we had had a long period of going without buying clothes because of our budget, our finances had improved permanently and I just started encouraging him to look at stuff. After a while he went out and bought some bits, I bought him some really nice jeans and t shirts for his birthday (as well as other things! )

One of the things that first attracted me to him was his style, he just needed reminding of that.

He has since changed his hair and had loads of comments from people at work about him looking really great . I think it's nice to get compliments, makes you feel great.

clothing is for comfort, protection and modesty. All else is detail. As long as he is appropriately dressed for what he is doing then where's the problem?

he may have no interest whatsoever in fashion. (me too!) It's fine.
