I want a guy in a suit NOW!! I like this topic far better than the studying I'm procrastinating. I'm sick of analyzing poetry for today!

If I didn't have to ever go to work I'd just wear jeans, a t shirt and a jacket all the time. And I'd be scruffy. And probably ride a bike and join a motorcycle gang. I'd probably just become Jax Teller.

I'm sorry, but no woman is going to dress me up. I'll wear whatever I want and if some chick doesn't like it, I don't care.

I can only give you one reputation point? That's ridiculous who do I have to complain to about this?

Thank you for telling me what I want to hear.

A lot of the other guys in the office think my boss is gay because he's always so well put together.

Wow, can you tell I like this thread?
I think there are probably a surprising amount of guys who would like having their girlfriend do that for them...I could see having an extra eye for fashion being very helpful.

EDITED TO ADD:

It is impossible to improve their fashion sense without violently offending them. You have to deal with it.
Clothes don't make the person. My ex never wore anything but jeans, T-shirts, flannel shirts in winter and boots of one kind or another. He refused to wear a suit but did borrow one from his brother in law for our wedding. It's okay to lounge around in sweats sometimes but not all the time. Me? I wear sweats all the time in winter but I don't wear them when I 'go public'.

My ex didn't like colognes or anything that smelled good. We even used Ivory hair products because they were unscented. I LIKE colognes and good smelling stuff so I wore them anyway. He refused to use deoderant too because he was convinced they had poisons that would seep into your skin. Even for all that he was a good guy and I loved him. And he really didn't stink. lol

Anyway, how a guy dresses isn't all that important to me. If his clothes are clean and he's clean and neat that's enough.

I feel like posting only in haiku format:

OK I go first
Sloppy dresser is turn off
Now answer question

I wonder if the ladies would let their guys dress them up? I doubt it.

Actually, the artificial smells are a turn-off for me. My husband smells wonderful, and he doesn't wear any colognes or lotions.

I have to cover my nose, or gag, when a heavily scented person gets into the elevator with me. It's obnoxious and invasive, sort of like second hand smoke.

Fashion sense is subjective, so I can appreciate a guy, even if he's wearing something that wasn't particularly my taste.

The most important thing is that they care how they look and that what they are wearing actually fits, is appropriate for the occasion, isn't dated and is color-coordinated.

BTW, nothing ruins a good suit more than old scuffed shoes.
