I like that idea - it's like Garanimals for grown-ups!

LOL, I'm old enough to remember those!

I think my husband's problem is priority. In other words, he just doesn't care! He dresses my son in the morning and he'll put the same shirt on him three times a week if I don't say something. He just doesn't realize he's doing it. The shirt has just been washed, so it's at the top of his drawer and he'll just keep putting the same shirt on him, totally oblivious to its appearance. And they say men are visual!!!!

being a man... my philosophy has always been keep it simple. i almost only wear khaki pants to work. then no matter which shirts are clean, they all match. on weekends... jeans because almost anything will go with jeans, except in the summer then khaki shorts. to dress up... black/charcoal pants/suit and white shirt.

my wife says the wardrobe is boring, but i am always color coordinated.[

My DH was quite the dresser when I met him. Unfortunately, I'm a jeans and t-shirt girl. He liked to dress up, but I always wanted him in jeans. Jeans and nice butts.... need I say more?

It's good to hear that other men are like that! DH was military for so many years and didn't have to pick out his clothes, and now you could say he's too old to care.

I have these pants that have an elastic waist and are are above my ankles. I love them. I've recued them from the trash can twice. My wife refuses to let me wear them out of the house.

I can see why your wife doesn't let you wear these out of the house. Any pants that include the description "have an elastic waist" frighten me. They probably wouldn't be above the ankles if you didn't pull them up to your chest!

Does he still wear black socks with everything?

I don't know about Marty's but my DH (ex-navy) insists on wearing WHITE socks with black jeans and black sneakers - drives me out of my mind when I see that! I asked him once - "What's next? Black knee socks with sandals?". He still does it! UUUGGGHHH [sm=banghead002.gif]

Oh I wanted to add that my interest in styling my husband deteriorated a lot since I had my own "dress up dolls"..aka KIDS...lmao!

Yep. Mine has deteriorated since I got a Fru-Fru dog to dress up. rofl

My DH has ok taste, and probably has better color discrimination than I do. In fact, some days I have to ask him, "Hon, does this match??". Its very, very sad.

Then again both of us favor jeans and t-shirts, with dog hair accessories.

Oh yes...black sox always! Then he comes home from work, puts on shorts and leaves those sox on. It looks rather stupid, but I guess it saves on laundry...sigh.

I know for a fact that my DH is color blind - he really can't tell the difference between greens and blues. And reds are reds, period. No distinction between bright red, brick red, burgundy, etc. He does a pretty good job with the suits/dress shirts/ties but he doesn't have any of those in bizarre colors. Last week he decided to go to the city council meeting and my suggestions of "Hmm. Don't you think you should put on something a little cleaner and tidier looking?" were met with "Oh, don't worry. I'm not going to get up to talk" Yeah. Right. Thank God the TV camers were far enough back.[

OHNO, lets not even get INTO socks. My Dad, at 50-something STILL wears those old tube socks. You know, the ones with the colored rings at the top? To make matters worse, he wears them with shorts on, and yep - you guessed it - hiked up as far as he can pull them... the socks, AND the shorts. *sighs* I think he even still has a pair of those poofy flowerdy shorts, what were they called? Jams or something?

And while I'm at it, apparently my Dad and my Father-In-Law are the last two members. I'm eternally mortified every time we go out somewhere, and it never fails that they ask us do we like their coat, like they're Soooooo COOOO-uhl in their Member's Only jacket. I just want to hide under something.

My dad doesn't wear tube socks, thankfully, but he does wear his socks hiked up as far he can get them, even with shorts on. We call it his catholic school girl look.

Now I'm convinced that I'm married to a gay man... my DH is the total opposite. I sometimes wish he didn't care about clothes as much as he does! He's a total label whore & has more clothes than I do. He also sews his own stuff and dresses me too!

Me on the other hand... boots, a denim skirt, a sweater, change of underwear... I can go for days!

You guys are ALL so spoiled!! My son's daddy thinks upscale is a shirt that has sleeves and a collar. EVERY single t-shirt he owns has a reference to marlboro, motorcycles, trucks, beer, etc. I like beer and motorcycles myself, but I don't have to have a picture of jo camel on a hog w/ a truck in a sunset being chased by loose women on my clothing. He considered pants with less than twelve holes in the butt, crotch, and legs not quite broke in yet. Pants and shirts w/o oil stains are 'Courtin' duds'. Lordy!!!! [:@] Jules
