    I used to only dress in things that DH liked. But I have noticed more and more that most of the things I wear now, DH doesn't like! Leggings for example, he hates! And he really can't stand pants or leggins tucked into boots. These are like my 2 go to styles lately!

    What about you? Do you only wear things your SO likes, or do you wear what you like despite his/her opinion?

    I don't always wear things he hates, but I do sometimes, when I feel like it, when the occasion calls for it.

    He hates animal print clothes, I love them. I have the hottest little leopard print dress. I wore it to my christmas party because it looks good on me. Too bad if he doesn't like it, he doesn't have to wear it!

    However, I must add that wearing a style someone doesn't like vs. looking like a slob and not wanting to go out with them looking like a slob can be different.

    Mhm, when we have been at stores, he has his preference of what he likes. He doesn't like clothes that have strong vivid colours specially pink. LOL. He also doesn't like short hair on gals, which I will so do after I have later .. I am just growing it for the wedding! lol

    The only thing I wear that he really doesn't like is long pointy toe shoes. He thinks their witchy and he's scared I might accidentally kick him with the extra long toe. And yes, I wear them despite what thinks: I'm not a very tall lady, I need all the elongating I can get.

    I wear what I like amd feel good in and don't worry about what my SO thinks. He never really hates what I wear and if he does he keeps it to himself.

    FI likes all of my clothes and even notices when I wear new jeans or tops! Haha the only look he doesn't like is when a girl's hair is pushed back by a headband. He says he doesn't like it on anyone (not just me). Lucky for him, headbands give me headaches so I only wear the hard kind around the house doing chores or getting ready and I only wear the soft kind when I work out.

    I don't purposely wear things that he dislikes, but there are certain sweaters (he calls them grandma sweaters), etc that he doesn't care for that I wear to work. He doesn't have to see me during the day, so it's my choice! If we're shopping together, though, I'll only buy things that he likes. (But if I'm shopping with my girls, his opinion doesn't matter!)

    DH has not complained about any of my clothing but I have complained about of few of his things.  I've threatened that those things were going to get lost in the laundry one day.  I have actually taken neckties and hidden them.  

    DH has complained about my current favorite fragrance which is lemon and verbena. He hates citrus and I love it.  I have stopped wearing it : (  because I figure if I don't he'll put on one of those neckties that someone's grandfather should be wearing or those slacks he likes that are leftover from the 80's.

    I like to wear skirts the majority of the time. He doesn't particularly like long skirts, but I like them, they're comfy, and modest, and so I wear them when I feel like it. I'll wear jeans and sweats and such, and he can just roll his eyes when I'm in a long skirt. Not like I'm making him wear it :-)

    I wear what I like (I have a hat collection that DH hates) but he def tells me when something doesn't look good.  I had a pair of pants that DH said made me look pregnant and they went into the trash that day.  When we go out together I will wear something that he really likes.  I like the way he puts his arm around my waist when he thinks I look amazing.

    My DH is very passive and doesn't usually have an opinion on what I wear except GRANNY PANTIES. He hates them with a passion. I only own a couple pairs that I needed post-baby.

    He also hates those high-waisted pants because he thinks it makes girls have "long vagina" and "long butt." lol

    the beauty of an LDR means I can wear my animal print and weird outfits when I'm away! my SO mostly likes all of my clothing-- he's not picky-- but he doesn't like a few things.  I'll still wear them around him sometimes, mostly to get a laugh!

    @newenglandgirl: Ditto.  My FI seems to like my style, as I've never heard him complain about any of my outfits.  It's either a compliment or no comment.  I have asked his opinion on a piece of clothing I'm considering buying, but once I own it, I dress for me!  Wink  It seems to work out.

    If it were up to my husband I'd be in skin-tight clubbing clothes day in and day out. The things he would like me to wear just aren't appropriate, so I find things that are somewhere in the middle. In general he likes my style/taste, but I rarely buy things based on his preference.

    The other day I bought a pair of mocassins and my sister said my husband wouldn't love me anymore if I wore them. LOL. He's not crazy about them but he DOES still love me!

    My husband hates floral prints.  He really doesn't like any print all that much.  

    I have bought a lot more solid-colored clothing since I've been with him and save most of my printed things for the office - he doesn't have to see me there!

    My fiance hates my purple sweat pants that are oh-so-comfy.  I wear them anyway comfort always wins. 

    He also dislikes a short floral dress that I wear with boots and leggings.  Funnily enough, that happened to be the dress I was wearing the day he proposed.  I tease him saying now I can never get rid of the dress and will always think of that day when I wear it.

    I can't vote. Husband likes everything I wear, I don't have anything he doesn't like. Actually there is a thing he likes but I don't wear anymore. I used to wear a school girl skirt in my 20s, but I don't wear that anymore. He kept asking me to wear it, but I'm over 30 already! LoL

    My SO doesn't really care what I wear so long as it makes me feel comfortable/pretty/etc. Clothes are clothes to him, and while he definitely points out when he likes something I'm wearing ("Oh, you look really pretty in that top!" etc.), he never tells me something I wear is horrible or whatever. I'd be pretty offended if he did, to be honest.

    Sometimes I guess he might not understand why I choose to wear something (pretty sure he doesn't understand my obsession with coordinating scarves to outfits), but dislike my clothes? Nah.

    (You know, come to think of it... I don't think I've ever bought anything to wear with him in mind haha. Well, except a bra before we were dating but that was a fleeting thought!)

    I have always said I wouldn't style myself to fit someones taste, so I wouldn't keep my hair long just because DH likes it and I wouldn't dress a certain way because he likes it. Fortunately I have shown him the error of his ways, he never liked short hair, until I cut mine, he hates tall boots over jeans or with skirts, and I do these things and he compliments me, so we both win, I do what I want and he learns to like it Smile! I think he has just realized I have better taste than him, because the same thing happens with house decor too, at first he might not like it but then it grows on him, to the point that now he always trusts my taste.

    My FI actually likes 95% of the things I wear ( although he hates leggings with dresses)... but he also likes the very preppy sorority girl looks and that is SO NOT ME... definitely more of the trendy dresser rather than the Ralph Lauren polo shirt and khaki skirt type of gal, but he always says he likes me style

    This thread makes me smile for some reason. Yes, I do wear some things DH doesn't like. It's kind of ironic and funny because I can tell before I put something on if he won't like it.. but I don't really care! I always tell him.. if you were a girl, you'd LOVE this!! He doesn't like things that are "too trendy" I guess. I may not wear it if we're going out as a couple or going to a work function, but other than that, whatever floats my boat I will wear =] I have a shirt with "frills" on the front that I think is cute and I always get compliments [from other women] on, but he thinks it looks like a "tuxedo shirt." I also have a super cute sundress with a belt and he thinks I look like a nerd!

    There isn't anything he dislikes really. He asked me early on in our relationship to never wear pajama pants out to do errands or wear clothes that are inappropriate for the occasion, such as a bikini to a Christmas party... etc. Apparently his ex used to do things like that lol. He never comments on my clothes negatively, so I just wear what I think looks good I guess.

    My husband used to hate leggings so much, but I think he's kind of used to it now since I wear them pretty often. Other than that he likes the way I dress, although I dress for me, not for him!

    I pretty much wear what I like, but I know there are tons of things I wear that he hates. Like ballet flats. And I'm such a tomboy, so I'm sure he'd like to see stuff that's a bit more feminine too.

    I keep telling him that if he wants to buy me a new wardrobe, I'll gladly wear what he wants me too... but until that happens, I like my clothes but when I buy new stuff I try to be think about what he would and wouldn't like...

    I guess we have the same taste most the time.  Theres a few shirt or items that I have that he doesnt really like that I love, but too bad.  Overall, he likes the way I dress, cept he wouldnt mind if I dressed in stuff that was more revealing - tighter tops, shorter skirts....

    I can't really pick anything in the poll.  I wear what I like and he has never complained.  He's  taken notice/complimented on something he really loves.  I can't imagine him telling me not to wear something???  I've never had this problem! :)

    All the time!

    My husband doesn't like the leggings/jeans tucked into boots (even if they are flat) he thinks it looks like a "woman of the night" if you catch my drift. But, I love it!

    He also doesn't like capped sleeves and balloon skirts and I love those too :)

    There have been a couple times where my SO will say "That is so weird, please explain this to me!"  I know he doesn't like those couple of pieces, and I still wear them!  Now I just joke about it when I wear them!  He has a few items of clothes that I don't like, and I have no problem with him wearing them.  I don't expect him to change his style for me, so I'm not changing my style for him!
