He's not my husband yet, but yes, I shop for him.
If it were up to him (and it is 99% of the time) the boy would wear a ratty old band tee, a hoodie, old jeans and Converse sneakers. He's got a handful of button down shirts and sweaters that he wears when we go out to dinner, one cheap, poorly fitted suit, and two pairs of dress pants that he NEVER wears.
So sometimes, when I'm out, I'll buy him some nice shirts or a sweater.
We're not married yet, but I do pick out some clothes for him, and he is SUPER patient when he shops with me, so I imagine before long he'll be picking stuff out for me to try too. :)
LOL, sometimes! Hubby has a few good outfits he picked out, but I always try to make a few 'suggestions' on some of his more interesting ideas on matching. =)
I may actually only buy clothes for the hubs as a gift or something but usually he takes care of it on his own and I am glad that he does a really great job. One less thing for me to worry about. He knows when to dress up and knows when to dress down. There may be an occasional time when I think something may not go together and I let him know but he either takes my advice or leaves it.
All the time. He never shops for himself. Every morning, he asks me to pick out his clothes. I think he prefers it this way. Plus, he's color blind, so Lord only knows what he'd come up with on his own! I've had several people tell me that he dresses much better since we met. LOL
we aren't married yet, but I def don't dress him. Hes very picky and is a "i can do things myself and don't need help" kinda person (in every regard).
haha, luckily he has pretty good style. I wish he'd dress more artsy/funky sometimes, but whatevs, hes so cute in his button down shirts, jeans and northface jackets. =^_^=
My husband actually likes to shop and has great taste! One of the good things about living in NYC is its ok to be metrosexual :) In fact, I love bringing him shopping with me because he helps me find stuff (and yes he is absolutely straight - just likes to look nice too :)
haha. sometimes i see things out and buy him stuff. after spending 4 years in BDUs...his style taste is a little bit lacking so he's told me he appreciates me picking out fashionable and nice things for him to wear. I'll buy sweaters from JCrew, nothing crazy fashionable, but still. I'll go to Kohl's or Target for him, too. He doesn't need clothes quite as often as I do though. It must be a woman thing =]
And it'd take a team of wild horses to get him to go shopping for himself, so it's better if i just do it so it gets done =]
But for the most part, he's a khakis+polo or sweater kind of guy. I FINALLY got him to throw away the jorts, though, and switch from regular Levi's to wider legged jeans from Express in a darker wash. Thank goodness. He dressed like such a nerd before, LOL. High waters, tennis shoes, the whole 9 yards. It's not his fault, he's an engineer, haha.
I don't dress him, but I do help him pick out hos clothes when he goes shopping, he does the day to day matching. Occaissionally I get the black or brown belt with this question because he believes brown goes with grey pants (I openly do not agree with that).
He NEVER remembers his neck size for shirts and somethimes tries to buy pants with pleats. So I am often asked to help him so things look nice.
oh no! I would love to, but once I bought him a pair of socks and he hated them and refused to wear them. Same with mittens - I have bought several pairs, and he won't wear any of them. I was going to buy him a new briefcase/bag for his birthday - and thankfully I waited to go shopping with him before I bought it! We spent 2 hours going over the tiiiiny details of each bag in a department store on Saturday before walking away with...nothing. So after marriage, I will definitely not be buying him anything clothes/shoes/bag related!
Sometimes. He hates to buy new clothes and I'm not even kidding when I say he still wears stuff he got in like the 8th grade! I'll buy him some new stuff occasionally and he will usually ask my opinion on something that he buys. I rarely ever decide what he wears though, unless we are going to some function for my family or my work, then I give strong suggestions!
He can actually dress really nice! But he HATES new things, like... his flip flops... ewww. His OLD tee's.... eew. Even his fave nice polo now has a hole in it! I just hang my head and work as much as I can!
Yes I do but I know that what he likes. He's a huge Ralph Lauren Polo fan and adidas for down time clothing. I will say that since we've been together he has def broadened his horizons on colors. I couldn't pay him to wear pink, aqua, purple, yellow but now he does. ;-)
BF has taken to taking me shopping with him. He won't let me wander off, unless it is to scrounge for more things for him to try on.
I occasionally buy him things for holidays, but other than that, he dresses himself. He just wants my opinion to make sure there's no hole in the bum or something.
When his mom and sister take him out shopping (his style isn't stylish enough for them, I guess), it's really awkward, because I generally don't like half of what they pick out for him, he doesn't like half of what they pick out for him, and they think we are crazy.
Absolutely! Hubby likes to rotate between work clothes (carpenter jeans, boots, hanes tshirt..) and dress clothes. But as for the casual or slightly dressy stuff.. well, that's my territory. Sometimes we'll be getting ready to go out and he'll come out with some get up on and I'll just be like... umm.. let me go get you something to wear. haha. It annoys him occasionally, but for the most part I think he appreciates it.
my fi is picky about his clothes, so i'm not allowed to shop for him. but he is color blind, so he does like me tagging along to make sure the color is what he wants it to be.
He will order tshirts from online... but I get his jeans, man undies etc... He seriously does not have time to go shopping himself. Since I go I just pick up things for him.
I'll admit it, I'm the mastermind behind 80 percent of my husband's wardrobe.
When we first met, his idea of dressing up was three-sizes-too-big dress shirt and cargo khakis. He's now the proud owner of some well-tailored suits and fitted dress shirts.
We catch ourselves having me plan his wardrobe when we go away. It's not something I mean to do or want to do, necessarily, but it always happens. He has trouble coordinating colors sometimes :)
My FI is short and stocky, so he rarely buys new clothing because stores don't have his size. basically, he has the shoulders and neck of a guy who is about 6 feet tall, but he is 5'3''. Shirts and pants are too long, neck is too small.
But, *shock*, there is this internet thing that allows you to find sizes that are less common. Apparently FI thinks there is a fairy that brings new clothing to him everyonce in a while, because he is deaf to me saying "buy it on the internet" when he wants new clothing. The short and stocky fairy brought new jeans this week.
BTW, FI hates to shop in a store, EXCEPT for dresses for me. He loves picking out (slightly too tight or revealing) dresses for me to try on. It is one of the most awesomely hilarious parts about our relationship, as he briefly turns into every hag's (former hag here) dream: the shopping buddy who likes your boobs.
No way jose! FI has a MUCH more refined sense of style than I do!!! In general, he's more "girl" than most guys, and I'm MUCH more "boy" than most girls. When we have somewhere nice to go, I let him help me decide what to wear (and he hates most of my clothes...). I really think that's why wedding dress shopping was SO hard for me. I'm clueless without his input!
What's really funny about this is that my husband IS NOT STYLISH. I tease him all the time he looks fine if he wants to dress like some who's 35 still wearing clothes from High School. Which he does sometimes! Think outdoorsy rugged - all neutral colors. Columbia brand clothes. Nothing special. But let me tell you HE IS SO PICKY. I refuse to buy anything for him.
I was helping him pick out jeans to try on one time and he REFUSED to try on anything that did not have straight stitching on the back pocket. (or no stitching) Any 'design' what-so-ever was deemed too fancy. Ok the only jeans with straight stitching at this store were carpenter jeans which I told him he was not allowed to buy! And from that point forward I gave up trying to help :)
He will sometimes ask me if something matches - to which I give my opinion.
Funny true story.... his best guy friend (total metrosexual - wears a suit to work everyday) will be over before we head out for the night and will make him change! One time he yelled up the stairs 'Nothing that says Jackson Hole on it' cause we had just gotten back from vacation and guess the hubby was wearing too many of those t-shirts!
my fiancé has better style than I do... mostly because he can afford it!
I'm now very grateful my husband lets me dress him. I don't think I could handle bad clothes AND an "i don't want to wear that" attitude, also. Although I know he won't come within a foot of girly colors like pinks and purples. I think he thinks they have cooties.
my poor guy. he has no clue how to dress his 6'4 200lb lanky body :/ he was an athlete in high school/beginning of college, and then put on 50lbs for a couple years, and now he is just plain tall and skinny!
i keep (strongly) hinting to him that he needs new clothes because he isn't 250 pounds anymore and no longer needs a 36" jean or size xxl shirt (he should be in 32" and size m/l shirts). however I have introduced him to slim cut jeans and they look fabulous on him :)
i really would love to do more with his wardrobe but we are poor college students and my tastes range in the Nordstroms category (while he is happy shopping at anchor blue)..
my husband is at least twice as picky about his clothes than I am. He spend more money on them, and won't let me pick almost anything out for him! He looks cute so no complaints.
i don't dress him, i just kindly suggest him what not to wear! hehe
DH has never, ever clothing shopped for himself. I think he's only ever purchased a T shirt at a sporting event or concert. It is absurd. His mom did his clothes shopping through college and I picked it up thereafter. He doesn't ask for it or demand it, but otherwise he would wear his reverse fit gap jeans from 1995 and a loose waffle shirt from 1997. He never complains about what I get for him. He is a pretty sharp dresser, but it's thanks to me : )
I am always trying to convince my FI to go shopping for new clothes. He has the same clothes from when we started dating, and even from BEFORE that. It's not like he is hard up for cash! The worst is this PAPER THIN grey t-shirt he insists on continuing to wear, as well as an old army cadet t-shirt that has holes in it. He also refuses to iron and wears his button-down shirts wrinkled. He needs a good dose of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.
I think the world is more lenient towards guys with poor sense of style, which isn't fair!!
i might buy him something if i'd like to see him in it, but otherwise, nope! He has 3 times as many clothes as i do. i'd like it if he shopped for me, to be honest. I hate shopping!
I tried picking his clothes, but couldn't get rid of all of the old gross shirts. Soon after moving in together I noticed, he actually likes wearing polo shirts. So we bought a bunch of different colors/stripes/etc and he wears those most days.
haha every once in awhile i'll be at the store and find something i think he'll like a lot. however, he has more plain t shirts than anyone i've ever seen! and more of those ugly khaki cargo shorts than anyone i've ever seen! he literally has two dressers and they are overflowing. so if i'm out and i find something that is nicer and not just a plain t shirt like he always tends to gravitate to, i definitely seize the opportunity.
We're not married yet, but he is a very sharp dresser and doesn't need my help in shopping. Occasionally he might ask me which cufflinks to wear, but that's about the extent. I'm proud that we're a pretty stylish couple. Truth be told, however, he's better organized about his wardrobe and I think sometimes looks a little more put together than I do! I blame the fact that it's so much more expensive to dry clean women's clothing than men's.
I usually come with him when he goes shopping, but he has pretty good taste, so it's more for company and urging him to go ahead and spend money on clothing. He wears a uniform to work, and then works out in ratty gym clothes, and then usually comes home, so he sometimes doesn't see the point in having a lot of "real" clothes to be seen in in public.
Nope, when he gets low on clothes I tell him its either he goes out naked or he makes a trip to Kohl's cause I'm not doing any more laundry.
I'll get him occasional clothes for birthdays or when I come across a sale, but he is so picky I don't bother unless I know he will wear it. Like that Cleveland Cavs retro shirt for Christmas or a new In N Out Burger shirt....
My hubby wears what I like to call his uniform, usually the same jeans, same shoes, and rotates his favorite t-shirts. I've tried to buy him stuff, but he almost never wears it because he goes back to his old favorites. So, I rarely shop for him now.
Over the years I bought my Mr. a lot of clothes... only he never wore them. Apparently in my mind only, he was super trendy. So I stopped!
He actually has more clothes than I do. hmm probably double my wardrobe. He is always buying himself new clothes... I swear he does it just to get out of doing laundry! lol
Geez, no. I'd go crazy. The farthest I have gone is to make extremely clear which articles in his wardrobe I enjoy seeing him in the most (the nicer ones, incidentally, otherwise I think he'd live until the day he dies in a hoodie and jeans and sneakers). He has figured out to wear them on special occasions without being asked.

While scanning websites trying to figure out what kind of shoes Mr. MJ should bring on our honeymoon, it occurred to me: why am *I* the one doing this?
(The technical answer is: He has two pairs of boots and one pair of loafer/workshoes and that's pretty much it. Not good for wearing with shorts or swimsuits on vacations, right?)
Anyway, I know he would do his own shopping with no complaints, but he doesn't mind (and in fact appreciates) if I just do it. I usually find good deals, etc too.
So I thought I'd just bring it to the boards: Do you shop for your husband?
