If he gives me a complement I would probably keep the sweater and wear it on occasions when I will be doing something with him. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont/page/2#post-1425932 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 20:50:06 +0000 rachylou 1425932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since the price is right, I think why not?

I know it's hard todo this once DH has chimed in but I have learned the hard way that if I don't like it I won't wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont/page/2#post-1425838 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 18:15:37 +0000 Anonymous 1425838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color is great on you but I really like the style too. it doesn't make you look bulky it makes you look kind of adorable.&nbsp;And your husband likes it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont/page/2#post-1425729 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 14:49:30 +0000 Angie 1425729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a fashionable fit, Mona. Scrunching is fine as long as you don't get cold in Canada. Wear it with your cream jeans. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont/page/2#post-1425713 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 14:28:03 +0000 texstyle 1425713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with you about the sleeves, but I can see keeping it to please DH and the color is fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont/page/2#post-1425666 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 13:02:09 +0000 Mona 1425666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The neckline is supposed to be worn higher up like a true turtel neck but I don't like turtle necks so I folded it down. The model is wearing it how it should be worn. <br />I must say that the fabrication is very nice and soft. It is not stiff at all and I think it will shrink after washing as this is 60% cotton. At this price point, I think I will keep it and wear it this season. The reason I was not liking it on me was the sleeves which wider than they should be but I can scrunch them like model. right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont/page/2#post-1425569 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 05:04:08 +0000 Sveta 1425569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color is amazing on you - I think this is what he saw.<br />I don't mind the bulk at all but for my taste it is not fluid enough. However Angie said the fit is fine so maybe it is OK? Do you feel any different about it now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont/page/2#post-1425567 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 04:59:11 +0000 Gigi 1425567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have any advice for dealing with your husband, but I will say that I agree with your assessment that the sweater looks a little bulky. I also agree with the commenters who have said that the color is gorgeous on you. I would try to return this and find something else in that color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont/page/2#post-1425565 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 04:50:49 +0000 DonnaF 1425565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I heard somewhere that red (and pink) are the *sexy* colors for both men and women.&nbsp; They make the heart go faster or something like that.&nbsp; I think your DH is reacting to the color.&nbsp; A too bulky sweater can be really annoying, but if I were you I would seek out that color in something else. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont/page/2#post-1425515 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 03:05:29 +0000 Anonymous 1425515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You need to find a trench in this color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont/page/2#post-1425500 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 02:52:03 +0000 Angie 1425500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW. No wonder hubs loved it. That colour dances on your skin tone. You look killer in red, Mona.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the fit too. Fashionable. But if you're still not feeling it - buy something else in bright red that you DO love.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont#post-1425493 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 02:34:20 +0000 Helena 1425493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That color is absolutely beautiful on you! You've found your power color, I'd say! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont#post-1425480 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 02:06:24 +0000 Jules 1425480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, cut is off slightly. Even a bigger turtleneck would balance the knit and the arms better and make the bulk work. And actually I can see a BIG, BRIGHT sweater working well on you with your hair and features - as well as a more fitted less bulky one - this is neither here nor there and probably wouldn't suit anyone, it's just off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont#post-1425471 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 01:57:10 +0000 Suz 1425471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, the colour!!! No wonder DH loves it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would say you need to find something else in that red, pronto. And even this style would be fine if it were a bit more fluid/ not quite as chunky a knit.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont#post-1425374 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 23:58:28 +0000 Kristin SF 1425374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others - DH is probably responding to the color because it is simply STUNNING on you. That is a perfect example of why I love this color red. </p> <p>But I also agree that it looks bulky due to the neckline - and thus you won't reach for it. I would return it and look for a turtleneck or a V-neck. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont#post-1425370 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 23:45:07 +0000 unfrumped 1425370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color is gorgeous and the sizing is good over the more fitted pants, but it would give me the same pause due to the cabling, which can be too bulky on me. I look for items that "collapse" a bit more, or else they just give me no shape. Sometimes just a little thinner or flatter knit is all I need, or the yarn must be more supple, or something.<br />Also I think the arms are wider than you need. </p> <p>However, I am the <u>worst</u> about&nbsp; liking several things about a top, but not always being critical enough to walk away. This is not a "bad top," so that makes it harder, and it'll be more about whether you are trying to be&nbsp; &nbsp;picky and have a mental idea of what you want, the "know it when you see it" item. Those are the ones I'll wear a lot. I think sweaters are easier to find than some item ,&nbsp; &nbsp;unless this red is your HEWI, for example, so I would tend not to settle.</p> <p>I have to remember that if I buy one thing, it may mean I won't feel I can buy the better item when it comes along, so I'm trying to remember to save room for the fun of the&nbsp;search, and&nbsp;having things on my list that are unfulfilled so I look forward to them&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont#post-1425367 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 23:43:16 +0000 Janet 1425367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color is GORGEOUS on you -- maybe that's what he's reacting to. However, I'm not a huge fan of that neckline -- I wish it were either a higher turtleneck or a crew neck, not that odd in-between height. And it does read slightly bulky or perhaps stiff in the photos. So I can see why you are not madly in love with it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont#post-1425365 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 23:40:11 +0000 deb 1425365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you think it is the color he likes? What if you found something that color but is not so bulky? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont#post-1425364 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 23:37:51 +0000 missvee 1425364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colour on you but it *might* be a bit bulky so I think I would return it.<br /> In situations like this I would tell DH that he's right about the colour but it's just not comfortable. Then I'd look for something else in the same colour, maybe with a bit more softness or drape.<br /> Bottom line, don't keep it if you don't love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont#post-1425306 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 21:48:24 +0000 Marilyn 1425306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you don't love it, send it back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont#post-1425302 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 21:43:37 +0000 rachylou 1425302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If he's got a good eye... I'd be inclined to keep it. It can be interesting to have a wild card like that thrown your way. And if you're me, there are times when you need to wear something that looks good, not what you love.

One of the style resolutions that I have made a few months back was not to keep an item unless I absolutely adore it on me. I think this is why, I am having a hard time keeping it. What is interesting though is that generally I don't have a problem if he does not like anything on me but I still keep and wear that item. It is proving more challenging the other way round. <br />I will post a pic as soon as I get home and may be let your eyes guide me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont#post-1425125 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 17:59:35 +0000 Anonymous 1425125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep, and try to see what he's seeing! You'll probably attract a whole different group of people when you're wearing it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont#post-1425081 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 17:11:40 +0000 Anonymous 1425081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Geez, I always have the opposite problem. My husband wishes he had &nbsp;a "normal" quiet woman living in his house who wore jeans and t shirts. &nbsp;You'd wonder why he married me. &nbsp;Hmm. &nbsp;:) &nbsp;I wear the Eddie Bauer sweaters I occasionally get as a gift a few times, trying to convince myself if he likes them maybe I should learn something from that. This usually lasts through a couple of wears, then I just can't anymore. &nbsp;I feel like a horrible wife. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont#post-1425072 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 17:06:36 +0000 texstyle 1425072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What torontogirl said. :-D</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-when-hubs-likes-it-and-you-dont#post-1425053 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 16:31:38 +0000 Helena 1425053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Jackie said Unless you are feeling completely uncomfortable with it, then what Suz said.
