( I'd consider this a trendy piece for myself). I was concerned he'd refuse to wear it (he usually think men's trends are weird). After wearing it once, he declared he loved it, unprompted, especially the elbow pads! I did fell over... :)). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bf-surprised-me#post-1214669 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 04:11:10 +0000 rachylou 1214669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not lately. But I'm still not over the Xmas he told me to buy new towels but that they couldn't be brown! Maybe I should have checked to see if he was flirting with girls online... Hehe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bf-surprised-me#post-1214650 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 03:27:02 +0000 Dee 1214650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine actually requested to go on a shopping trip sometime soon! This is a first in over ten years together where I haven't had to physically drag him into a store. I doubt he'll go for red pants, but it was still a surprise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bf-surprised-me#post-1214645 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 03:23:32 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1214645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny coincidence my DH just bought red shorts, a definite departure from his normal neutral bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bf-surprised-me#post-1214642 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 03:20:10 +0000 catgirl 1214642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have to post a picture... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bf-surprised-me#post-1214640 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 03:19:20 +0000 Mo 1214640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interestingly, being a redhead, he doesn't shy away from red. &nbsp;He has several red shirts . . . . but colored&nbsp;pants is a whole new frontier! &nbsp;<br />Glad to see there are some other SO's coming around to trying some new things &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bf-surprised-me#post-1214584 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 02:06:10 +0000 Sara L. 1214584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My DH loves linen pants. Thanks for the link! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bf-surprised-me#post-1214532 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 01:16:00 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1214532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine surprised me when we went shopping a few weeks ago by buying a polo with a raw seam detail at the collar and along the side seams. He's worn it several times so far. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bf-surprised-me#post-1214523 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 01:07:27 +0000 Laura J 1214523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine surprised me by getting socks I always wanted to get for him but never thought he'd wear. &nbsp;I have a much more colorful, whimsical style than he does. &nbsp;So when he showed me his white socks with large multicolored polka dots I was floored and quite happy! &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bf-surprised-me#post-1214514 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 01:02:44 +0000 carter 1214514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine said a couple days ago that he needed to replace half his closet. We did a huge purge/replace about a year ago, so I'm hoping it's the 20 year old half that he realizes needs to go. Never can tell with him though! Brown is as crazy as he gets with pants though, so pretty darned sure there will never be any red! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bf-surprised-me#post-1214493 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 00:50:49 +0000 rabbit 1214493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for fun guy clothes!</p> <p>Mine has recently announced a desire for slightly combat-y boots like mine, or like the red wing heritage ranger&nbsp;ones found often on our neighborhood hipsters. &nbsp;I've run several Steve Madden flavors by him, and drug home a few that were returnable, but so far the combination of ideally under 100$, nicely weathered&nbsp;leather, and the perfect mix of rough/refined has been elusive. &nbsp; I'll keep trying though, when we met he was all ripped jeans and well used leather&nbsp;jackets, and now he's a khaki clad engineer - the latter&nbsp;has never been a comfortable fit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bf-surprised-me#post-1214489 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 00:45:26 +0000 abc 1214489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Red pants? Awesome! My DH has recently gotten straight and skinny (not sausage legs) jeans and one pair is deep blue, another army green. I guess he likes color as much as me... And your BF too! Very cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bf-surprised-me#post-1214480 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 00:37:17 +0000 doubleh 1214480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! &nbsp;The DH agreed to spend over $20 for a pair and I got him linen pants as well. &nbsp;(He said he realized he hasn't bought new clothes in 3 years so I promoted "cost per wear".) &nbsp;As A said though, I would keel over if he selected red. &nbsp;Good on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bf-surprised-me#post-1214472 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 00:28:20 +0000 Anonymous 1214472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, mine hasn't but if he ever wore red pants, I would fall over. His entire wardrobe, suits and casual are grey, navy and black.:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bf-surprised-me#post-1214463 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 00:21:33 +0000 LACeleste 1214463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool Mo! &nbsp;I love your phrasing. &nbsp;Sartorial surprise sounds so good! &nbsp;None here yet but one can hope.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bf-surprised-me#post-1214460 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 00:19:40 +0000 deb 1214460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooo, red and white. Or most other colors, for that matter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bf-surprised-me#post-1214456 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 00:16:28 +0000 Mo 1214456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was looking to replace his raggedy (I now call them castaway) linen drawstring pants. &nbsp;Found a selection online with several colors. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/271106818049">http://www.ebay.com/itm/271106818049</a>&nbsp;Assumed he'd pick army green, which is the color he has now, or maybe grey. &nbsp;When he said RED, I was quite surprised. &nbsp;So, we have red linen pants coming for him, to go with the white linen tee I got him from H&amp;M with my dot top order. &nbsp;Fun! &nbsp; </p> <p>Has your S.O. surprised you sartorially lately? &nbsp;</p>
