As a woman, if I'm asking the question, I want the truth. But I know some women like to play games and get bizarre about that. Men, you should already have figured by now out if you've latched on to a pragmatic woman or one that's high maintenance and needs to be lied to.
First of all, I wouldn’t ask a man this question to begin with and risk getting the stupid answers I’m seeing here. I would ask my sister or female friends.
Second, if I ask anybody any question about anything, I want the truth otherwise why ask?
Since the OP is asking how he should handle it, I guess I would have to say that it all depends upon who’s asking him, why is she asking him and how sensitive she is so he can know how honest he can be with her.
Don't ask the question if you can't handle the answer. If you are a sensitive butterfly that can't deal with an honest but nicely worded truth about something you are wearing, well I have no idea what to say about that. There are ways to express the truth that are not hurtful or mean and one would think that a caring spouse/SO would be aware of that and that the question asking spouse would understand that the answer to their question might not be what they want to hear, but the delivery should be done with care.
If I wore a piece of unflattering clothing, asked my spouse about it and he said it was not flattering, I'd be appreciative rather than whine about it.
"It may be the light or it may be the brand, but I've seen you look better in other outfits than in that ensemble." And then name or put together another ensemble, even if it was from the other day.
“Would you like to rephrase the question before you receive my answer?”
I fall in to the “don’t ask unless you want the honest answer” type of person, I am not a huge fan of playing word games to try to bait or elicit types of responses.
Say what you mean, not what you mean for me to say.
