His size has been changing though so it is tricky to get that right without his help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1435449 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 06:25:44 +0000 jhd 1435449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is not very into clothes. If he needs something we usually go together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1435439 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 06:11:10 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1435439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He buys his own clothes, but often will ask me to join him shopping. I hold stuff for him and help look for sizes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1435379 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 03:13:16 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1435379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's the same way! He hates shopping and detests dressing up. Either me or my mom buys his clothes. He likes the big &amp; tall shirts she gets him. The only time I can actually get him into a store is when we visit family in CA and only at Ross! He can't resist a bargain and we don't have those kind of stores where we live. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1435361 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 02:05:21 +0000 erwoo 1435361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to buy him clothes and then realized he'd rather wear the thinned out, hole-y t-shirt and ugly-a$$ work out pants that he's been wearing since we first met... um 11 years ago! Well, I still do but it's rare. He'll get mad at me for buying him clothes b/c he doesn't need it. I guess hinting that he needs nicer clothes wasn't working. :P But he'll go and throw down a good amount on work clothes once in a blue moon b/c he does wear those more. Poor guy has to wear a suit every day even when it's 90 something degrees and super humid. He hates shopping though b/c he'd rather put the money in our kids' education. I can't argue with that... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1435357 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 01:51:21 +0000 shopaholic 1435357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Casual clothes, socks/undershirts, etc, I do. Like jeans, button-downs, ties, etc. I try to buy him shoes, but have to return them 90% of the time because of fit. He buys a ton of sports tees himself, and a lot of tees and casual clothes when we're on vacations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1435248 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 22:25:08 +0000 mfa_lady 1435248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually buy stuff for him. He is REALLY tough on his clothes--so I am usually replacing something that is hole-y, or stained, or worn out. He is really bad about keeping at least one or two outfits "nice" aka not doing yardwork in them, hiking in them, etc. Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1431996 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 16:04:23 +0000 snowjewelz 1431996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: wow its' the exact opposite for us! Shopping for him gives me an excuse to shop, so that I don't shop even more for myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1431991 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 16:00:06 +0000 pui 1431991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH actually likes shopping more than I do lol. I don't really like shopping and find it stressful. DH picks out clothes and I try them on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1431975 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:52:59 +0000 IRunForFun 1431975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I have been together almost 3 years and I think the only new clothing item he's purchased is a pair of pants. Maybe a tie. But I don't really buy him clothes either...I think I've bought him a bathing suit and some boxers over the course of our entire relationship. Oh and running shorts. His mom usually buys him clothes for his birthday and Christmas, haha. Button downs and sweaters and stuff. He and I probably should go shopping soon to update his wardrobe but both of us hate it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1431963 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:50:31 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1431963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy him shirts or sweaters once in a while, but for the most part he buys his own clothes. He doesn't really get new clothes very often, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1431950 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:47:48 +0000 rattles 1431950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He buys his own. The only exceptions are gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1431945 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:46:51 +0000 LuLu Mom 1431945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go together and I give him a thumbs up or down. I've bought stuff on my own but he can be so picky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1431939 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:45:15 +0000 Alivoo01 1431939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH. I HATE shopping. He does the shopping for himself and me. I don't have the patience to go shopping, unless it's for DS. Plus I'm too indecisive and cheap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1431822 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:17:52 +0000 bookwormmama 1431822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually we go together or if I'm out shopping and see something on sale I will pick it up for him. He wears the same couple style shirts in different colors everyday, so he's not hard to shop for. He also is able to dress casually for work, so I don't have to pick up dress shirts with specific measurements. He has gone shopping a couple times on his own to pick up jeans on sale.</p> <p>I'm not sure the last time he bought underwear/undershirts on his own though. I think his mom bought them for him until we got married and now I do, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1431730 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 14:51:44 +0000 yoursilverlining 1431730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He buys his own, and his mom buys a ton of clothes for both of us! (Good thing she has great taste haha) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1431724 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 14:49:57 +0000 psw27 1431724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He buys his own. He has his own preferences that I don't even try to keep up with! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1431713 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 14:46:26 +0000 cascademom 1431713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy DH his t-shirts mainly. He has a casual dress code at work, so I'm on the lookout for fun shirts. He's a bit picky about jeans and buys them once every couple of years. He's due for another jean shopping trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1431567 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 14:03:50 +0000 illumina 1431567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly him, or we go together...though he hates shopping so sometimes if I've seen a nice t-shirt when I'm out I'll get it for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1431552 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:59:57 +0000 Corduroy 1431552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just started buying DH's clothes. I couldn't the freakout that would happen before every event where he realized he had nothing to wear or the endless shopping trips where he couldn't 'commit' to any garment. I never thought I would buy his clothes but my life is soooo much easier now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1431519 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:49:45 +0000 swedishfish 1431519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually buy him stuff from Kohl's and Old Navy. He was picky at first but he's come a long way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1431512 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:47:50 +0000 Smurfette 1431512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually we go together. I will pick him up something if I am out, but I usually like him to be there since it is so picky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1431423 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:23:13 +0000 chopsuey 1431423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually go together when he shops for clothes.<br /> Sometimes when I'm out alone i'll buy casual shirts for him if I see something I think he'll like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1431407 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:19:49 +0000 cmomma17 1431407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH would never let me buy his clothes! He's very into shopping for himself, fashion, etc. I have bought him a few shirts here and there as gifts, ties and always do fun socks for Christmas. Outside of that, he's on his own! He does value my opinion though. Especially for major purchases like suits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1431399 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:18:14 +0000 looch 1431399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For his work clothes, usually a department store where he can try on lots of different cuts and brands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1431388 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:14:08 +0000 MrsH 1431388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both do. I gift him clothes because he never seems to buy them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1431381 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:12:24 +0000 artsyfartsy 1431381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually both of us together. Lol. I pick them out and he tries them on and makes the final decision. For christmas though he wanted me to take $100 and get him some shirts and sweaters from TJ Maxx. I got like 14 for him and I did a pretty bangin job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1431377 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:10:42 +0000 lovehoneybee 1431377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, I totally buy his clothes. He doesn't care what he wears at all, except that if it were up to him all he'd own would be these black active shirts and brown cargo pants (and still wears this most days to work....he seriously has 5 pairs of brown cargo pants and like a dozen of the shirts). I've been slowly adding things like jeans and colored shirts to the closet over the years :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1431376 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:10:39 +0000 Mamaof2 1431376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He rarely asks for new clothes but when he does I get them for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-sodh-buy-his-clothes#post-1431373 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:09:56 +0000 mlm2934 1431373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He buys his own clothes. He prefers nicer stuff from JCrew/Banana Republic/Fossil, then wears it forever haha. (I'm a target/ old navy girl).</p> <p>He is incredibly picky, and I've learned my lesson picking out shirts for him and then seeing never get worn. </p>
