Would you wear something your husband thought looked stupid?

[Lealea1991]

I happen to think that these summer playsuits look amazing and very flattering. I tried one on that was shorts at the bottom for a hot summery day and then a more formal one with trousers and s nice denim jacket for evening out. My husband just stood there and laughed at me and said I looked ridiculous. I like to look nice but I can't feel nice if he thinks I look silly. Should I buy them anyway and to hell with what he says? Or appreciate what he thinks looks nice on me?

Did you ask him why! What is it about it that he hates?

My DH hates my Cos sacks dresses but I still wear them. More out of spite now

Absolutely! Tell you what, if they had other colours I'd get them too!

Mine would never be so mean as to laugh or say I look stupid but I know I have certain clothes he thinks aren't that flattering. I still wear them because I like them.

🤣

Everyday!

My dh wears shirt and tie or cargo shorts and t-shirt. NO OTHER OPTIONS!

The day I take his advice on fashion, hell will freeze over....

I mixed - obviously you’ve every right - we all do - to wear whatever you want without feeling or being ‘policed’ by anyone. (I exclude some religious dictats and uniform requirements and legality etc)
The only reason I’m mixed is my dp and I do on occasion really hate something the other is wearing - usually because it totally doesn’t suit or doesn’t fit - and we do tend to listen think and look again. Often we agree and jetttison it. Sometimes we agree but are stubborn for a bit. Sometimes we disagree but don’t wear something we know the other hates in certain circs. And then sometimes we completely ignore the others’ hatred of whatever it is. It all depends.
We do, equally, feel fine about all of the above approaches as far as I can be sure.

Me too, I don't tell him my opinion of his wardrobe choices and would never take clothing advice from him 😂

If you like it Op then buy and wear.

Yes!

It's a running joke that I will ask him which style/colour/shape he likes best then will choose the opposite one

I probably wouldn't because it would take a lot for my dp to say something looked bad. So if he is saying it then it must look shocking on me 😅

Same - my husband very rarely says anything looks bad on me - even though I'm middle-aged, dumpy and generally unattractive. I think I can count a couple of times in the 18 years we have been together, when shopping for special outfits, and he phrased it as the clothes were awful/silly, not me (if you see what I mean). So I believe him if he does say so (and he never voices an unasked opinion).

DH hates playsuits and jumpsuits. He thinks they don't look flattering on anyone.
I just told him not to wear them if he didn't like them. I still wear mine.

No, he never says that so it must look terrible. I want him to think I look nice anyway, if we're going out together.

My husband has a good eye, so if he said something looked terrible, I’d believe him.

Probably not, if he thinks I look ridiculous other will too.

A jumpsuit and denim jacket for the pub is a very bad idea anyway, you've got to get fully undressed with likely nowhere to hang you jacket everythome you want the loo.

He's got a decent eye for clothes and rarely comments on what I'm wearing, so I'd probably take a good look in the mirror. If i still loved it I would definitely wear it though.

My DH says “it’s very you” when he doesn’t like something but knows I do 😂. I wear it anyway.

This. Unless your husband is an expert on women’s fashion he should learn to keep his opinions to himself. This is Being a Good Husband 101.

Do you burst out laughing when he spends hours watching tiny men in costumes running around on Tv chasing a ball? And that’s a lot more stupid than a play suit.

If YOU like the way you look in a playsuit, go ahead, bearing in mind that they'll be out of fashion again by next summer. Ask your DH what's ridiculous about it. People can have some strange beliefs regarding clothing.

Unless he's prone to laughing at you or being mean maybe get a second opinion.

Haha! Buy them for sure! I wear wide legged jumpsuits and sometimes have my hair in a big beehive, my husband said I look like elvis! it spurred me on!

Mr Flo and I say things like this to each other all the time. He's interested in clothes but we don't always like the same things.

Whether or not I take any notice normally depends on whether I've asked for his opinion in the first place. If I've asked him, it's probably because I'm not sure if something's right, in which case I listen - why wouldn't I?
If I haven't asked, I'm less likely to take any notice but I still check why he's said it because sometimes he spots something I've missed. Then, if he hasn't convinced me, I go ahead anyway.

He does the same if it's the other way round.

No, I trust my taste far more than I trust his. He knows this and while I do ask if he likes things (when I try them on), he never says anything overtly negative. It's nice when it's very positive though!

DH hates 90% of what I wear. I still wear it.

I rarely ask anyone else about my choice in clothes. I like what I like and really don't care what anyone else thinks.

If you like it then get it and wear it.
