I don't clothes shop for him, either. Still, I can usually tell when he really likes something. Usually dresses, which I wish I had more of. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothes-that-you-keep-because-your-other-half-likes-them#post-528041 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:52:36 +0000 Meredith1953 528041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hubby has really narrow tastes so it is very hard to hit on an outfit that he will praise. Usually he say's it "looks fine". I tried to get rid of 2 dresses that he says he likes (probably because he bought them for me) and he was kind of sad so I stuffed them in the back of the closet. I NEVER wear them. He is so conservative in what he likes that he makes me look like a piker!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothes-that-you-keep-because-your-other-half-likes-them#post-528031 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:45:51 +0000 rachylou 528031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara L. you made me laugh. I have to ignore bf for the opposite reason. He only likes practical clothing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothes-that-you-keep-because-your-other-half-likes-them#post-527891 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:50:02 +0000 Mo 527891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yeah. And not just because he may have complimented me in them, more like "don't get rid of that!!" comes out of his mouth lol. He has more of a sentimental attachment than I do to clothing, for sure. I had to convince him a red, fuzzy sweater I wore when we first went out - that barely covers my navel - is just not salvageable in any modern way period! And I still have the 'toilet paper shirt' but plan to just layer it under sweaters so only the cuffs and collar poke out </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothes-that-you-keep-because-your-other-half-likes-them#post-527756 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:58:34 +0000 Sara L. 527756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband has terrible taste - he likes skirts that are too short and shirts that are too tight. I have to just ignore him. I keep a couple skirts around that are a tad on the short side (but not so short they look trampy) just to make him happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothes-that-you-keep-because-your-other-half-likes-them#post-527731 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:21:48 +0000 Mochi 527731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awww...unless it's some taffeta monstrosity that's taking up too much closet real estate, it's sweet to keep around a thing or two. So much preferable when they like what we're wearing. And there ARE guys who notice pretty well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothes-that-you-keep-because-your-other-half-likes-them#post-527721 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:56:05 +0000 anne 527721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a ankle length form fitting black skirt with side slits that DH likes and I keep only for that reason. It is stretchy and doesn't crush, so easy to keep in a drawer. I don't think he misses it or that I have worn it for some years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothes-that-you-keep-because-your-other-half-likes-them#post-527714 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:31:53 +0000 modgrl 527714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trends change and style evolves. As you start wearing your new clothes he will get used to them and start to like them too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothes-that-you-keep-because-your-other-half-likes-them#post-527712 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:30:05 +0000 Janet 527712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Confession: in my recent closet purge, a couple of items my husband has said he likes *may* have found their way into the donation bags. </p> <p>I figured they haven't been worn in a while and he will never miss them. He's been commenting so often on how much he likes the way I'm dressing these days, I don't think he'll even notice the items are gone. My style has changed, and he likes the new style, so I'm sure it will be fine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothes-that-you-keep-because-your-other-half-likes-them#post-527711 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:29:10 +0000 jayne 527711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>too funny! My BF has not make it too obvious that there are things he likes, but on occasion I understand what he doesn't and probably do the opposite...stop wearing it around him! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothes-that-you-keep-because-your-other-half-likes-them#post-527700 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:03:07 +0000 Mander 527700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does anyone have items that they are not keen on, but they find themselves putting back into the closet because your other hafl thinks they look good on you?</p> <p>I was just looking at my sweaters, and I have a few that I feel are really "meh". But every time I wear them, DH (dear husband) compliments me on them. Or a few tired t-shirts that were in the donate pile, but DH saw them and said "you're getting rid of that? but I like you in that!".</p> <p>So back into the closet they went, and they are occasionally worn around the house. I don't know what it is that he likes about them, exactly, or else I'd try to replicate it with something else. He probably likes that they are too tight in the chest area... sigh. </p>
