Guess what, guys? It's true - you male species do have it that easy, so the least you can do with such an easy task is to get your colours coordinated! Can? So, instead of waiting and complaining that we are taking forever to get dressed, you can try to be constructive by taking advantage of the extra time you have to check yourselves out in the mirror and make sure that your clothes match well ;oP.
Don't leave home with mis-matching colours like this:
Or like this:
Also, I know how sometimes you're in a rush and all, so you might just open the cupboard and grab the lucky winner, but at least keep the old and worn-out-looking clothes at the very back of the cupboard then. Or put them in the "home clothes" section so that you're sure you won't grab it by mistake for an outing like the case below...
Sorry, what did you say?
"It's all good"?!?
No, sorry Bil...it's not "all good". Oops! Did I reveal who the guy in the pictures is? My bad... .
Anyway, I thought part of the benefits for a guy to have a wife is so that she can help improve a man's colour-blindness when it comes to picking out his clothes. Of course, I don't mean that she should literally pick out his clothes for him since he's not a baby, but there are ways to help him pick out his own clothes without him realising that you're pointing him in the right direction. Soon enough, he'll be able to do it entirely on his own.
You can start by helping him clear out his wardrobe. Get rid of the old and worn out t-shirts, sweaters, trousers, etc. Do it together with him, so that he shares a big part in this project, and also so that he can learn something.
Then, go shopping with him a few times so that you can help him look for something good. Before long, he'll get into the habit of going to the right shops, and looking out for the right things... .
Birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas are good (but not the only) opportunities to get him tasteful clothings. Branded goods are not "must-haves" because those are not necessarily what makes a man look good.
Also, I really do not recommend getting him so-called fashion accessories such as Louis Vuiiton man-bags for eg. his birthday. They are FAR from "manly", so just bag that idea. Poor Bil was the laughing stock at his office (which had all males) for as long as the number of days he carried his new Louis Vuiiton man-bag to work, which was about a week. Waste of money, target of ridicule. Guys, if you ever get a branded man-bag or some other un-manly accessory as a gift from your wife or girlfriend, be careful - she's angry with you about something.
Ladies, do not metrosexualise your man, no matter how tempting it is for you to show off your "wealth" to the rest of the world!!!
One thing is to make him look good, another thing is to make him look like he might be gay. Please, please pleeeease do not make him look like this:
I mean, sure - assuming they are genuine, it would seem like you are able to spend that kind of money easily, but is the money really wisely spent when it makes you look like a joke? If you seriously don't know what to do with your money, my bank account number is.... ;o). I'll then help you look instead like this:
