Do you buy your Wife's clothes.

DH likes shopping much more than I do. I'm very much a go in already knowing what I want, grab, buy leave. He is a rack sorter in that he'll sort his way through rack after rack looking for something nice or a bargain.

My DH missed his calling! He knows exactly what suits me and often buys me things. Latest were two pairs of lovely soft warm leggings in black and navy to go with tunics that I already own.

In today's DT Teresa May says her H chooses what she wears, It doesn't say if he buys them. She is pictured wearing leather trousers which I personally consider very naff.

Blimey, perish the thought. He has a good eye for jewellery though

Many many years ago he bought lingerie but that,s it. He helps me choose and likes certain items in shops, but as I said in a previous thread he hates shopping and I buy for both of us

An X boyfriend of mine loved shiny stockings and tights, and often bought expensive ones for me as gifts.
One afternoon we were in a hypermarket in Lille and he had wandered off. When I found him he was being admonished by a staff member.
He had opened about 20 packets of very expensive stockings and was checking them for 'shininess'.
A lovely kind, gentle generous man but a little odd at times.
We are still friends.

The Wonderful Man buys me outdoor type clothes; rash vests for kayaking, waterproof trousers, hiking clothes and last year a (very expensive) Paramo jacket and gilet. Do you spot the intent there? He loves being outdoors and does all he can to make me comfortable when I'm dragged out persuaded to join him.

My youngest son and my daughter both buy me clothes and always get it right - they buy me things I wouldn't have chosen myself and are very good judges of what suits me.

I stopped buying MrsPs clothes after I bought her a really pretty pair of knickers, she complained that the crotch hadn't been stitched up properly and I has to take them back. Won't go to Ann Summers again, shoddy workmanship.

No, except when she was in hospital and needed a top to go round all the wires and tubes. It's difficult enough giving an honest opinion on what she buys. Thankfully, most of what she buys looks fine.

It works both ways. My wife doesn't buy clothes for me but I like her seal of approval. Mostly, it is forthcoming.

Wobbly You're wasted on here!

Wobbly !!

Wobbly, you're a one !!

LOL Wobbly that's very funny! My other half has only bought me a couple of things unchecked and both had to go back so he now leaves it up to me or will let me order something online for myself and pay. He is very good at spotting things if I'm looking for something in particular and is usually right - he's quite patient if its for me or gifts for others but hates shopping for himself unless we can get to an outlet store - then he'll stock up for the next six months!

I Only started this thread as a joke as Ann challenged GD's to ask the question, didn't expect serious comments

I very nearly bought the wife's clothes! My ex was only short of a womb, it really wouldn't have surprised me if he said he wanted to be called Shirley!
