do you buy your husband's clothes?

Shudder !! I still remember the Brown Suit bought on a trip out without me !! and the sheepskin coat ............... sadly I now have carte blanche as he is confined to his chair , I do try to bring home something he will like

Mine knows he has no dress sense so we usually shop for his clothes together. He does know what he likes though and will show me things and can tell by my face whether I like it or not. Sometimes when I can see he really likes something I'll say well its ok but not for best and he's happy to be guided by me. He has got much better at choosing now I must say and actually picked up a lovely blue 3 piece suit from Burtons which looks really good on him.

Never in a million years.

Can you imagine a thread started by a Granddad - 'Do you buy your wife's clothes?'

A very good point Ana

I have bought all the Bodach's civilian clothes for the last 45 years! I always accompanied him when he was being measured for his working suits.
Actually, he has been wearing the same styles for 45 years ( v necked jumper, polo or short sleeved casual shirt, chino type trousers)

Good God, no!!

Ana, be careful what you wish for

No, I might give an opinion if asked (rarely) but he mostly chooses his own.
Some of it I do wonder why, but he's the one who has to wear it lol.

Mine suddenly appears in new things and tells me he bought them ages ago in the sales. Nothing ever goes with anything else and he will be ready to go out wearing about five different colours. He thinks it looks nice. One item was a vivid bright yellow sweatshirt you could see him a mile off. 'Where on earth did you get that!' I said.
He looked really hurt and pointed to a little black Nike swoosh, and told me:
'It's Designer!!' He was really pleased with it.

A few years ago, we realised DH and a friend's DH wore the same (M&S) jumpers that we had bought. One Sunday in our church the other DH got up to speak at the front and I realised he had on the same jumper that my DH was wearing so I hurried my DH to the front to stand alongside other DH-and said "just in case you thought they borrowed each other's jumpers! Oh how we all larfed

DH was an adult when I married him and seems to to be one still. He is quite capable of buying his own clothes and if he looks a mess that is his problem.

I would prefer it if he dressed a bit more smartly, but I do not think it any of my business to dictate to him how he should dress. He has never turned up at a wedding or funeral in jeans and a T shirt or gone to a formal event in shorts and flip flops.

Similarly he is free to tell me which of my clothes he likes or dislikes, but I make the decisions about what I am going to wear.

my OH loves clothes and shopping for them,he is always well dressed,I wouldn't even buy him socks ,my problem is I hate clothes shopping and he drags me round shops pointing out things he thinks will "suit" me ,I buy most of my things online,try them at home and if I dont like them they go back .

Me buy my husband's clothes? Never. I am married to a clothesaholic peacock. He has more clothes than anyone I know. On our recent holiday in America he said he wouldnt comment on what clothes I bought on condition I didn't comment on what he purchased. I must admit I now have two tops which I would never have thought of buying which actually look good. How can a man who already has15 leather jackets possibly need 4 more? On the other hand he is always well dressed and I am proud to have him by my side.

Well DH recently bought himself some trousers on line, but they were the first clothes he'd bought himself for about 25 years. Left to himself he would just wear anything he found at the bottom of the wardrobe that more or less fitted.

I agree with MOnica . I have bought him a jumper as a present but otherwise he just gets his own. I would be very irritated if he tried to off load it on to me but he has never even suggested it.

H would never shop for clothes without me.
Not because I say he can't but he says I have better taste and besides he doesn't drive and apart from Tesco there is no where that's not a train ride away.

No, I don't. He's a very good shopper, knows what suits him and exactly what he wants. When he was young, he did a bit of modelling for a local clothing store/boutique. He often buys me clothes too.

No no and thrice NO!!!

Oh god yes - ever since he came home with a muscleman Tshirt with a brightly coloured photo print on it because it was reduced. Insists on wearing it, might be finding its way to the bin over the winter ?

Yes. Only yesterday I went out and bought him new shirts for work and a pair of jeans.

Usually, yes, although with prior consultation. However, he recently came home with a really gorgeous paddock coat which definitely suits him & looks very smart.. the small matter of his having absolutely nothing in his wardrobe to go with it hadn't entered his mind. We therefore embarked on a shopping trip for new trousers and shirts...all in all, a very expensive purchase!

Certainly not -he's not a child for goodness sake.

I always bought my late husband's clothes but then he always wore the same clothes. He always wore black trousers and dark (black, grey or navy) v-neck t-shirts with a hooded sweat-shirt if really cold. When dressed up he always wore a black shirt-sleeved shirt and black trousers. Always black slip on shoes. Didn't like jeans or trainers. In fact as a mark of respect at his funeral all immediate male family wore black trousers and matching short sleeved shirts, untucked as he always did, without a jacket.
