[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was looking for a good oversized sweatshirt to wear for dog walks and weekends when the weather gets cold. When I looked on the Anthropologie site I saw a ton of sweatshirts that said stuff like "Wifey" and "Fiancé". Do people actually wear these? It seems incredibly obnoxious. They also had stuff that said "Bride" and "Maid of Honor" which is also kind of obnoxious but I could see someone wearing to a bachelorette party or the week of the wedding. But like is someone walking around wearing a sweatshirt that says Wifey.

There's also a brand called Favorite Daughter selling sweatshirts that say "Dad's Favorite" or "Mom's Favorite" and while I get these are meant to be kind of tongue in cheek next to the other ones it just comes off as very braggy.

Is this a new trend? I have never been a message tee person but it's never bothered me that other people wear them. But these feel self-absorbed and braggy in a totally different way. And I say that as someone who is married and was a fiancé and has even been a maid of honor and might be described privately as my mom's favorite daughter. But I can't imagine wearing any of this stuff. [b]Can someone explain it to me[/b].[/quote]

People are wearing them on the plane to their honeymoon destination. Or at their bachelorette. Or whatever. MYOB. No one will make you wear one. [/quote]

OP here. That's what I would normally assume but these are expensive sweatshirts. Like $80-120. Not a $20 joke tee. Are people really spending $100 on a sweatshirt they will wear to their honeymoon destination or their bachelorette and then (presumably) never again? I guess the price point made me think this is something people are buying to wear somewhat regularly while they are engaged or after they are married. Which strikes me as strange.[/quote]

I'm sure they wear them around the house. Lounge wear. Stop monitoring other people.[/quote]
