Where do you buy your DH shirts?

Seriously! My goodness, from this thread it looks like 95 percent of the husbands of DCUMs don't shop for themselves. Can that be true?

DH gets paid the big bucks for being a nerd, and he's expected to dress like he's worth it (even at casual events). Nerd credentials did not include putting together a decent outfit that doesn't consist of t-shirt and jeans, so yes, I assist with that.

I can't speak for other women, but I buy most of DH's clothes because he has very little free time. I'm a SAHM. We'd rather spend his free time on family activities rather than shopping together.

Why is this such a dilemma?

I thought nerds were smart.

You women must love your men to be helpless.

Not true in my house! I do plenty to manage the household and rear the children, in addition to being the major income generator. I draw the line at dressing my DH, who is perfectly capable of getting himself to Brooks Brothers to buy clothes.

This is absurd. DH is a total nerd gets paid big bucks (CTO) but he never looks good because he is a nerd! I question your DH's nerd status. He either doesn't work with nerds (totally surrounded by business jerks) or isn't a true nerd.

No. I responded earlier on this thread but DH picks out his own shirts--assumed the OP was more interested in where the shirts come from than who buys them.

For the same reason my husband takes out the garbage instead of me - sure, I'm capable of doing it too, but I'd rather someone else do it. He feels the same way about shopping, plus it's easier to make one big order with things for everyone in the family together rather than a bunch of separate purchases. Lately he's been happy with Banana Republic's polos - J.Crew's quality seems to have gone downhill recently.

Clothing though is a personal thing. Garbage is not. Do you pack his suitcase for business trips too? That is way too personal for me to do for DH, and I'd never let DH pack my bag for a trip (?)

You're married to a nerd who can't dress himself? Is the cash really worth it? Ugh.

We both work full time outside the home and we each buy our own clothes. Online, while we're sitting around the house at night after the kids have gone to bed. Doesn't interfere with family activities.

Don't love a helpless man but what is worse is that most of the stuff DH wears, his mother buys him. My nerdy DH dresses like a 70 year old man. Nerds are smart but not when it comes to fashion. Hipster nerds yes, are pretty snappy dressers but the true nerd, nope.

Clothing is only a personal issue if it's something you care about - my husband doesn't care enough to make time for clothes shopping. I don't mind it, so I do it, just like he doesn't mind taking out the trash. He doesn't travel for business, and when we travel as a family he packs his own stuff.
