[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, DH does not have great style.

He seems totally resistant to treating his dress clothes nicely. He also refuses to get his shirts professionally ironed or buy only non iron shirts.

Part of it is that he grew up in a poorer (then communist) country and we moved to the US only a couple of years ago so he is sort of oblivious to subtle language of clothing in the US and he gets very defensive when I point out a faux pas. He has a sort of stubborn working class pride thing going on and I think he makes a point to reject the dress standards of our very preppy suburb.

Another part of it is that he's gained weight and doesn't want to buy new clothes until he 'loses weight' which he has not made progress on.

Luckily DH works in tech mostly from home so it doesn't really matter professionally. We did have a fight not long ago because he wanted to go a [b]private school interview for our kid with fresh from the shower wet hair.[/b] Sigh. [/quote]

Men’s hair would dry on the way to the interview

But I’m basically your DH, a techie with no fashion sense who grew up poor.

Dressing stylishly takes money and time; and why should he value it?  The only reason many men dress well is to attract women, and he’s nailed you down and likely makes the money to keep you![/quote]
