[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. Can someone explain it to me.[/quote]

The wifey/bride/MOH stuff has been around forever. I had a lot of peers get married in 2016-2018 (and also got married in that time frame myself) and everyone had them for the bachelorette and wedding day. On our honeymoon there were 6 couples on our flight in some variation of these shirts. It's sort of similar to the mama/mama bear clothing, that gives me the ick but to each his own.

Never seen the "Mom's Favorite" kind of stuff but I would imagine that if you looked for it 10 years ago, you'd find it. [/quote]
