Would You Pick Your Partner's Wardrobe?
A new survey reveals that a quarter of men don’t like the way their partner dresses, with only a fifth of women seeing their man’s dress sense as a problem.
Mark Pearson, Chairman of MyVoucherCodes.co.uk, the conductors of the survey, said, “Clothing purchases are often a hotly contested topic between partners, particularly when cost is involved; but we wanted to look into how people feel about the purchasing decisions that their partners make.”
They found that 24 per cent of men hated their partner’s dress sense whereas only 18 per cent of women felt the same about their partner’s dress sense.
The majority of both men and women felt that their partner’s dress sense was okay, but a staggering 71 per cent of women said that they would like to be in charge of their partner’s wardrobe choices, compared to only 51 per cent of men.
The main reason for men disliking their partner’s dress sense was because they felt that their clothes were unflattering on them. A small 9 per cent of men said the problem was that their partner’s clothing choices weren’t revealing enough.
Woman had a different reason for disliking their partner’s choice in clothes. Fifty one per cent said that they simply didn’t like the style of their clothing and 13 per cent said that they wished their man would dress more smartly.
It’s usually thought that women are the ones that are more embarrassed by their partner’s clothing choices, but this survey proves different.
Mark Pearson said, “To see that a quarter of men ‘hated’ their partners dress sense was surprising, but the majority remained apathetic; with the same story for the women taking part.”
Have you ever taken charge of your partner’s wardrobe or do you think it’s respectful to leave them to their own devices?
