Do you disagree over money spent on clothes in your marriage/relationship?

Question

I find my husband seems to think money spent on clothes is frivolous, whereas I think it is a necessity for being a professional. I am wondering if this is a common issue for men and women.

thanks!!!!

Answer 1

Are you kidding?

My husband tells me I dress like i belong on Spanish Televison!

I am usually over the top and I have the hair and nails to perfection as well.........He must fund these things if he wants to have the type of wife he wants to have.

No ands, ifs or my butt about it!

Answer 2

My husband only wants a few outfits for himself..........but, they have to be expensive, well made, and fit perfectly.

I don't care care if I spent $10 on a sweater at Marshall's...........I need to have something new.

Husbands and wives view clothes differently, yes

Answer 3

I dont want my wife to buy anymore shoes!

Answer 4

it depends. if the bills aren't paid no one is allowed to shop . also nobody is allowed to touch savings for clothing . other that we are both huge shoppers . honey is into high quality , expensive brand name clothes as to me i  buy lots of outfits i find cute . but rather shop clearance and sales than regular prices.

Answer 5

My husband and I don't have enough money to spend on clothes!

Most of our clothes are given to us or we go to second hand shops and we get some really nice things there.

For women, (and men) it is important to dress professionally in many work environments. Especially if you are trying to stress how serious you are to have people respect you.

There are clothes that "never" go out of style and are interchangeable with other pieces of clothing to make new outfits.

I don't see the need to go out and buy new clothes every couple of months, but it is nice to have a few new outfits every year or so.
