Nicole and her boyfriend were talking about where they would go for her birthday dinner and Coley picked out a shirt that she wanted Matt to wear. He told her that she couldn’t pick out his clothes for him, that he’s a grown man and can do it himself. Nicole just thought that the shirt she picked out was appropriate for the restaurant they were going too. Matt reminded her of the time they went to a country club event. Matt has dressed up in what Nicole thought, was the most idiotic and absurd outfit ever. He looked like a tool.
Matt was wearing those khaki type golf pants, and one of those thick ridiculously knitted golf sweaters. Nicole had insisted he change saying that he would look stupid. Turns out, everyone else was dressed like that and he fit right in. The guys asked her why she thought she could pick out Matt’s clothes for him, and she said that she thinks, in certain situations at least, you should have a say in what your significant other wears.
Do you agree? Do you think you should have a say in what your significant other wears or should you just accept them for who they are?

First we shop for clothes together.
I will give my opinion if he asks which he usually does. He actually does dress well. We always ask each other how we look. T
There times when you have to dress a certain way whether you or your spouse likes it or not.
I totally agree with Nicole! If he isn’t dressed to your satisfaction there is nothing wrong with telling him it looks bad. At that point, he should get the hint and go change. My fiancee will often ask, “Does this look alright?”, and he definitely knows my “that looks discusting, take it off!” look. I want my man looking his best, and besides, when we go out it’s nice showing him off a little.
happy b-day nicole!!!
i do have say in what my boyfriend wears so if he looks stupid then i pick out his clothes
It’s one thing to offer your opinion if the person may not be dressed appropriate for the occassion, but “ordering” anyone to change their clothes or to tell them what to wear is disrespectful. I mean, would you order your friend or your parent to change their clothes if you didn’t like them? Maybe you would, but it doesn’t mean it’s the right way to act… My boyfriend wrinkles his nose at some of the things I choose to wear. Sometimes I respect his opinion and sometimes I just ignore him. =P
I think thumbs ups and thumbs downs are appropriate, but the ordering thing is lame. I ask my guy what he thinks and if he doesn’t like it, he tells me, but that doesn’t mean I’ll change.
