If your DP dressed you...

What would you look like?
(This is meant to be fun, also includes husband/wife/partner, whichever you prefer).

Mine would have me in skinny jeans with a fitted jersey tucked in (imagine the bloat days!). Or basic jersey black leggings with a slinky top, ffs! Coats would be feminine little conservative affairs from Hobbs. Or a neat little Barbour cropped jacket.
Doesn't seem fussy about footwear, but thinks most of the jumpers at Johnstons of Elgin look 'scruffy'. (he hasn't been shown the price tags, lol).

He has never told me this before, but I do have memories of him excessively complimenting me in skinnies. Getting this info out of him was like pulling teeth Grin

I think quite similar to what I wear now but with more fitted jeans (I prefer skirts or dresses) and a more impressive Dr Marten collection plus I'd probably whack out the suspenders more often. He is partial to a onesie as well.

LadyPoncenbyFroglett · 20/11/2023 17:47

Small knickers.....

Yes! I feel a bit scared here. Mainly at the thought of my non six pack .

SameToo · 20/11/2023 18:05

Like a Sloaney I would imagine 🙄 he’s tried over the years. It’s not going to happen.

MuckyPlucky · 20/11/2023 18:07

If my DP had to dress me I’d end up in an insane mish-mash:

High-end outdoor clothing (Rab, Montaine etc), for that seriously outdoorsy vibe

….but with black stockings & suspenders underneath (usually only his birthday treat).

Fancyfencepost · 20/11/2023 18:11

Straight out of the House of Bruar country catalogue.

LimeCheesecake · 20/11/2023 18:15

Well once he’d finished panicking about being tasked with this - probably something practical and comfortable. Not anything “fashionable” or “complex”.

probably straight jeans, navy/beige/some other neutral colour cashmere jumper and trainers. My hair would be curly. Full face of makeup minus lipstick.

louderthan · 20/11/2023 18:24

Pleather 😂

RantyAnty · 20/11/2023 18:33

It would 100% be a suit.

If your DP dressed you...
LadyPoncenbyFroglett · 20/11/2023 18:39

Love the idea of a chunky Rab puffer coat with black suspenders underneath Grin

House of Bruar though.....mine might translate a twinset and pearls to Audrey Horne in Twin Peaks, I just see safe country casuals. Or tory wife..

Like Daphne from the White Lotus. He LOVES when I wear colorful clothing, which I don't do super often.

LunaNorth · 20/11/2023 18:52

I’ve just asked mine, and he said dungarees with a white t-shirt and Converse, or my ‘big jeans’ with a white shirt and a knitted tank top.

Quite androgynous, it seems.

HardcoreLadyType · 20/11/2023 18:57

I would be wearing pale grey.

IncorrigibIeRogue · 20/11/2023 18:59

A ghillie suit and a pair of extremely expensive hiking boots, I imagine. Maybe topped off with one of those Soviet fur trimmed hats?

That's winter mode obviously.

In summer I reckon an ancient political t shirt of some sort from a campaign-gone-by, with cargo shorts and extremely expensive desert hiking boots 😂

minipie · 20/11/2023 19:02

A very fitted, quite smart dress and heels

SwordToFlamethrower · 20/11/2023 19:03

DH wants more context! But said "a sexy spy catsuit with a zip that goes all the way around. Probably black"

Just going to the shops or something he said "jeans, trainers and a sensible top"

PMSL

BranchGold · 20/11/2023 19:03

Pretty petite fitted dresses and tights with boots.

Im very short and he does comment that the oversized look currently in vogue drowns me, which is true. A simple day dress in a nice colour or pattern that comes in at the waist and no longer than the knees always gets commented on favourably.

minipie · 20/11/2023 19:09

Same here Branch

I now want a sexy spy catsuit though… (and ideally the figure to go with it)

PurpleCar02 · 20/11/2023 19:09

My DH would have me in a pretty dress, fitted at the top then loose, with tights and flat shoes, definitely not heels as he hates them! I’d probably be wearing much more eyeliner than I’d like, and my hair would be curled. He’d have me wearing a big bag so I can put his wallet and keys in it 😂

WhereAreWeNow · 20/11/2023 19:22

Hot pants and stilettos probably. I'm not sure I want to ask him.

BecauseTheWorld · 20/11/2023 19:23

DH would dress me in what I usually wear I could happily let him buy all my clothes as he’s quite good at it.

LoobyDop · 20/11/2023 19:31

It would be tight around the bum. I never get compliments from him when I wear things I consider comfortable around the bum. He’s far too polite and well trained to say anything, but there are no compliments.

Cantbeardarknights · 20/11/2023 19:36

I don’t know what he would choose for me but it definitely wouldn’t be wide jeans which are his pet hate and he’d probably get me a wig as he prefers my hair much longer than it currently is.

Oldraver · 20/11/2023 19:41

Probably not much different to how I do dress, think Lady V dresses. Maybe a corset and skirt combo, and a smart swishy coat

I often joke I could dress in a bin bag and he would still fancy me, I keep on meaning to do it one day

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 20/11/2023 19:51

Coincidentally, I just showed dp several potential outfits for a Christmas party meal.

The 4 choices were -
Vivienne Westwood black dress (quite short and tight as I've put weight on since I bought it) with a sequin jacket over

black high neck lace dress, prom shape and just below the knee, with a low back

Whistles over the knee dress

fake leather mini with black top and sequin jacket

All of the above were with black tights and black heeled boots.

I thought he'd choose the Westwood or the leather skirt, but he actually chose the black lace dress because it was 'more classy' (his words).

Generally, I think he'd just have me dressed in jeans and a jumper.
