I have bought some clothes for the other half, but personally if he is comfortable in what he is wearing then why should I dictate.
To the OP your wife is a nazi lol.
I would suggest certain clothing, but not force the person to wear what they do not want to wear. Me, I love a man/woman in Levis especially if they are unbuttoned halfway to show enough to tease. Plus the way the fit the person makes a big difference. Now, if the person is a suit and tie man/woman cool... I might help them find what looks good on them but not demand they wear certain clothes or colors. This goes for men and women. Me, I love a woman in nothing but a sundress. ;) right ladies? Sundresses can be soooo very sexy!
My fiance is a graphics illustrator/designer/artist and is great with picking out colors for designs, printing, etc. but when it comes to his own clothes, its as if his brain just shuts down. I'll point out how blah something looks or the fact that two colors don't match and he is always surprised. He'll then get something else to wear and ask if I like it. I really don't think he cares what he wears. His personal clothing style is to not care. Most of the time I do not say anything to him about it unless it just looks awful. I doubt I can change that about him and he's great the way he is. At least he is meticulous when it comes to grooming, slightly obsessive compulsive. I have no problem with that.
If I were looking for a wife or girlfriend, that is what I'd want to have, not a mother hen. I would welcome her opinion on the clothes I wear, and at least consider her suggestions, but would not tolerate her dictation as to what I was going to wear, though I can't imagine a woman being that bossy.
If you think they'll try and change your wardrobe style just wait and see what they do to the decor of the house or apartment. I am ashamed to admit that I know the meaning of the word "decor." But I have had two wives. I never found out what my first wife did with my collection of National Lampoon posters. I miss those posters.
I think that if a guy has a terrible sense of style but a great personality there's no harm in helping him update & refresh his wardrobe. You dont have to change him, just bring out his personality to reflect his clothes. I wouldn't go as far as completely changing a person, maybe a few tips and pointers until he's confident enough to wear a certain look. I think women are more emotionally attached to clothes so they tend to pick out certain clothes for their partner because it evokes certain memories. I know Ive been guility and I also like buying tshirts because I absolutely adore guy tshirts and just love guys wearing tshirts & great jeans. NO CARGO PANTS THOUGH!!
I think there's plenty of women out there that are happy with the way their guy looks and will decorate a house together - not dictate know it should be done. Women (& men) that want to change every thing are controlling, anal & image conscious and if you're with them you must either be a pretty placid guy or you're quite yielding. Either way stop complaining about being pussy whipped - cos its obvious that you guys enjoy or why else would you stay.
My wife does not like my cargo pants too much, but I wear them — a lot! She likes me to wear blue jeans an she buys ridiculously expensive brands for me. I prefer cheap cargo pants.
you can wear whatever you like Buz.. she's already got u dressing in nice suits & pink shirts u can wear whatever u want in your down town time. Clothes are way overpriced and cost pittance to make. its ridiculous.
actually I tried to make her my living Barbie doll but she recused to cooperate with me so rather then let cloths go to waste I converted my self into my own doll. there are a lot of ladies that actually enjoy dressing their men masculine or feminine too use and abuse. personally I would just like to be girlfriend with benefits...... lol
I would never change a lad's style. He is who he is, and I would want him to be as comfortable as possible. If he wants to look smart or casual, fine. That's his style and how he chooses to express himself. The only thing I would have issue with is if he wasn't clean.
I will not stop wearing knee-length stripy socks, sparkly shoes, black t-shirts and floaty skirts anywhere and everywhere I go (and hoodies when it's cold). I refuse to go to balls and cocktail parties and crap like that because I won't be dictated to. Accept me as I am - as I accept you.
Ut incepit fidelis, sic permanet.

Mine buy's me clothes but if i hate it, she knows i won't be wearing it nomatter how much she protests
Women like a sharp-dressed man (isn't there a song about this? ZZTop or someone). Sad to say, I see an awful lot of men who need a woman to dress them right or face an arrest by the fashion police. Every time I go out in a sport coat and tie or suit, suddenly the women get complimentary and all touchy-feely. If you can throw in a little fashion "style" as well, a classy tie, a pocket handkerchief, vest and pocket watch, something that says "I have my own personality" - you'll be amazed at the responses. Don't dress like a douchbag or a hipster though unless that's your umm "target audience".
So, yeah, some guys need help in the fashion world and if they have a woman with good taste in clothes and the generosity to buy you a wardrobe, go for it.
I think you and wife are sweet. You'll find a happy ground to stand on. Never give-up the old comfy jeans though : )
I personally don't dress men.
Torture the data long enough and they will confess to anything.
My boyfriend would certainly dress better if I picked out his clothes. He doesn't want my help though. I can't understand why. Is that a guy thing? He picks out panties for me sometime. He's not really helping the textile industry out though. There's hardly any material used in the ones he picks.
