I am looking for creative ways to tell my husband....?

to dress up nicely when we go to an event, or we go for dinner in a fancy restaurant. He just wants to go in jeans, t-shirt and sneakers to everything and he is mean if I ever suggest him to dress up - and we often end up in embarassing situations. Does anyone know of some nice ways to make him aware of this? Thank you for your answers.

    I once went on a trip for 3 days - work related. When I came back my wife left me two t-shirts, and a pair of jeans. She went to Kohls and bought me four slacks and some polos. I got the hint.

    Wait, hold the phone.

    I seem to be reading many people having a problem with this. If your husband is secure enough to go to nice events in casual clothing, then kudos. You married someone who is comfortable in their own skin and doesn't feel the need to impress people.

    Why does it have to be him that changes? You should put on a halter top and some daisy dukes and go out with him to an Opera or something.

    I personally wouldn't bother 'beating around the bush' Either ask him to dress up (say there is a dress code) or simply sort out an outfit (from his current wardrobe or buy him some) and get it all washed/ironed and ready to wear - chances are he likes wearing jeans, t-shirt and trainers becasue you can't go wrong - every thing matches

    Since you know your husband you should know what may or may not offend him , even if you're not trying to of course , but you're basically saying what he wears isn't good enough. Some people would take that as an insult. I suggest take him shopping with you or something. Don't pick out his clothes for him like he's a little kid though. I think he might get annoyed by that.

    Sorry to hear that you have married a slob dear, but these men need to be taken in hand and taught how to be gentlemen. Continue to dress uo to the nines and embarrass him at every possible opportunity. Other wise refuse to go out together.

    Leave him alone, poor chap! Why should he dress up? Wearing jeans t-shirt and sneakers is not a crime.

    Now, can I talk to your husband, to give him advice on how to deal with you? :-)

    Ask him to dress nice before he has the option to make a decision first. That and let him know it's a real classy place. If all else fails, bear down and tell him to change his mangey clothes.

    How about saying

    " Hunney i know you like to look casual when we go out but could you just look extra special for me tonight...It would really add a nice feeling to the evening"

    OR

    Next time he wants you to dress up to look nice for him tell him to get lost & wear something you feel great in but he hates !

    3ways!

    Either the complete ignorance from now on, becoz he might be doing this just to tease u, so, when u just ignore, everything will be ok.

    Or, simply, in an event or something, try to tell him, how people feel towards good looking men, like "X said, that Y, was great in this suit,........".

    Or, if u r both in love deeply, u can simply get him something, and u say, "U always look attractive, but on the way, i saw this piece, and wondered how will it look on u".

    Best of luck.

    Just tell him the same way that you would want him to tell you. I'm sure you would love being told how to dress, or that the outfit you have on is subpar and that he is embarrased to be seen with you when you're dressed that way..
