What does your guy like you to wear?
Permalink Closed

So obviously guys like things like lingerie, low cut tops, tight jeans, and swimsuits. But what more non-obvious things does your guy like? I dress for myself but it's funny what guys suggest or are most attracted to.


*The guy I'm seeing now has this thing for heavy eye makeup. He loves a girl in smokey eyeliner and mascara.


*My last boyfriend loved suits. He was always offering to buy me a pinstripe pant suit. He liked me to wear anything mensware inspired but made sexy/feminine enough so it wasnt some weird gay projection.


*My boyfriend in college prefered me in no makeup (that was rare) and work out clothes. And he had the total opposite of a foot fetish... he hated feet and always wanted me to wear closed toed shoes and he made me sleep in socks.


*My boyfriend in high school loved girls that wore ponytails and baseball caps.

well, now I feel weird b/c the guys I dated never expressed their preferences in such detail. I mean, I'd be able to understand what look they'd lke/dislike after some time, but they never said anything!


Guess the only thing I can say this guy I was seeing lately likes my long burgundy leather coat and a  black vintage chiffon scarf renamed "the sexy scarf" by a friend of mine? 


The way I wrote this sounds really bad, but it's nothing R rated, I swear!

My kinda-ex is sort of into fashion (he majored in art history). He likes the sort of clothes you wear for girls, unique pieces, weird layering, over accessorizing. He really hates heels, too much makeup, and piercings.

The guy I dated before that was into the earthy look. He liked girls in Chacos, Carhartts, fleeces, etc. Which is a look I rock from time to time (I live in Maine!).

Other than that guys haven't expressed much of a preference. I think basically they dont really have any problems with what I wear, since I'm fairly well dressed so they don't care.

My new boyfriend has several things he like. He likes me in black clothes. He kinda has some weird things he likes. He likes Knee high leather boots, mesh tops and he has a thing for corsets. He doesn't just like corsets in a sexy bedroom way. He likes them in a wear them in everyday kinda way with cardigans and blazers. I know he is kinda strange.

My boyfriend loves when I wear a skirt w/knee high boots.  He also loves when I wear those sweaters that fold over off your shoulders.  But then he also loves when I dress down a little bit and just wear a cute rock t-shirt.

My BF likes me in red, pink (he likes when girls look girly), and black.  I think he prefers me in jeans and he loves me in sundresses, but I guess if he had his choice I would wear knee high boots and nothing else (umm, yeah, how practical).

my husband prefers me in sweats as opposed to all dressed up! no makeup! (he won't kiss me if he can tell i have lipstick on) i think he preferred my hair really short, but likes it in ponytails, too. he also thinks i look cute in my vintage clothes and calls me "school teacher e."

other guys i've dated haven't really had a preference except one who was not really a "boyfriend" per se, and more of a scan'lous situation. he liked the hooker look.

I think my husband likes it when I look nice when I'm going to work and when I'm dressed down on the weekends.  He doesn't seem to have a preference either way.  I wear lipgloss all the time though and it drives him nuts if I kiss him while I have lip gloss on. 


None of my ex-boyfriends really seemed to have too much of a preference.  I dress pretty casual, and I dated guys that were pretty casual as well because I'm not attracted to the high-maintenance type.

My fiance likes what he calls "play" clothes. Such as a tank and shorts and running shoes. He hates it when I wear things that are too fussy and I can't just pick up and go anywhere. But then on the other hand he loves shoes because I hate frumpy chunky shoes he has taken to it and points out other women's ugly shoes....that cracks me up because sometimes when I wear high heels he thinks that I can't walk in them and wants me to change....

He also likes medium make up, just the basics, not too much. I used to work at BCBG and across the hall was MAC and they would do our makeup for nights out and we would do weird fun colors and such and he hated it.

He also likes suits and stuff.

My husband likes me to be comfortable. If I look uncomfortable it really bugs him. He's not a big lingerie man because he says I look sexier in my tank & capri jammies because it's more "me" and I'm not dressing up to be something else. Which at first kind of hurt my feelings, but now, not so much.

Definately jeans & tees, sweaters, boots. If I wear heels he always balks because I really did own a lot of uncomfortable shoes when we met & he hates to hear me bitch about my feet hurting all night when I have 100 other pair I could have worn. And he hates makeup so much! I usually have pretty neutral makeup on but he insists I look the same without it (yeah, WHATEVER) and would prefer me to never have any on. But thank goodness we don't live in that scary world. And the lipstick thing applies, only he will kiss me if I have it on, only I never want to because I will smear it everywhere. On a side note, we spent our first "vacation" together in New Orleans at Mardi Gras & i was trying to look my best every minute, like putting lipstick on constantly. In all of our pictures he has red lipstick ALL OVER his face, it looks like he put it on his lips. His mom cracks up & says I must have kissed him constantly. but i digress....

He has an extreme hatred of all things rhinestone (ie, embellished shirts, shoes, etc) - it's the one thing I don't agree with & wear anyway.

I agree that I don't dress "for my man" but I will humor them. I dated a guy with a foot fetish so I always wore incredible open shoes with high heels when I was with him. And someone else I dated liked me to look a lil slutty so I'd indulge him if we were going somewhere that I felt it was appropriate. I do wear some stuff that my hubby admits that he doesn't "get" but he doesn't care.

And Erin, that's funny - my hubby loves my vintage things the most. I think we both have an obsession with all things retro (him computers, WW2 stuff, some decor; me- shoes, clothes, some decor)

Hmm... my boyfriend hasn't ever said "I like it when you wear _____." I've noticed that he always comments when I wear Express Editors and heels (I think he likes the way my butt looks in them ). He also comments a lot when I wear bumming around outfits, like a tee and shorts/sweatpants.


I once dated a guy (when I was a freshman in HS) who liked it when I wore skirts. He'd call me at night and ask, "do you think you could wear a skirt to school tomorrow?" I always thought that was kind of weird... .


Another guy I dated in HS practically demanded that I wore my hair up, minimal makeup, and hoodies and jeans everyday. He didn't want anyone else to notice me . He was just a tad controlling, but we won't get into that. Ahh, the mistakes we make when it comes to boys...

my ex-boyfriend seemed to like it anytime i wore something "different."  we started dating in college, so i was always dressed pretty casual (you know, jeans and sweaters).  one day i showed up to class kinda dressy (black pants and boots with heels) and i swear his jaw hit the floor.  hee!  i guess guys like to be kept on their toes...


he also really likes to see me lounging around in sweatpants (geez, who needs lingerie??).  anything cozy and comfortable so we can cuddle.   


his number one thing?  boyshorts!  he absolutely looooves boyshorts (we like to call them "booty-shorts" too, haha).

Mine really likes me to wear outdoorsy clothes.  Columbia outerwear, boots, jeans, cotton or wool sweater.

My current boyfriend doesn't really seem to care that much. I think he's still into the mid-90s indie girl thing and a few times he's said that he thinks I would look cute with really short hair but other than that he never really comments or seems to be turned on by outfits or anything. He's definitely not into super dressy or fashiony stuff and a few times has seemed horrified when I've shown him pictures of things that I like but he doesn't seem turned off when I dress that way around him. Oh and he definitely isn't into 'sexy' lingerie, anything lacey or ruffley etc. I think that would just make him laugh.


My ex was insane and extremely particular about what I wore. He hated when I wore jeans for example. I eventually figured out that the main thing he disliked was pants with patch style pockets on the butt but I think he also didn't like how thick jeans are - actually one of my guy friends hates jeans too - so only dress pants or cords were acceptable to him. He really preferred me to wear skirts. He also disliked that I was a lot shorter than he is so he wanted me to wear heels all the time! Of course he had hair and makeup preferences as well but the weirdest thing was that he was really into my glasses for some reason and demanded that I wear them whenever we hung out which I usually didn't do because I prefer contacts but he would get pissy about it!

Ugh, once in a while I get a kick out of wearing something that I know a guy will be really into but this guy was bananas! And the worst part was that I hated how he dressed and he usually looked kind of gross and it started to turn me off and he refused to improve his wardrobe. Good riddance!

My husband LOVES when I wear skirts.  I would say it's his #1 request.  And he loves the skirt/boots combo too.


On Friday, I was talking with my girlfriends about Oprah's jean intervention show, and they were outraged at the thought of spending more than $100 on jeans   On our way home, my hubby said - your friends all wear mom jeans, please don't worry about spending $$$ on stylish jeans because you look great in them.  I'm so glad he "gets" fashion - it made my night

My boyfriend likes lipstick....but he doesn't KNOW what lip gloss IS!! He also likes low cut tops, (obvious one) skirts, and pink. Then again I had a striped blue menswear shirt and he liked it a LOT. Weird guy

he likes skirts and v-necks (loves playing with the zipper on my hoodies).  he seems to like me in scrubs and business suits as well (probably because it means that i'm making money, not spending it ).

Okay, so I'll spend $100 on a shirt and it means nothing to the bf. Then I'll wear a $4 shirt and no doubt that he'll love it! It never fails!

My husband has only mentioned that he likes me in tshirts and jeans.


And anything with heels

i have no idea.  my bf doesn't really like "fashion", so its hard.  Like i was wearing a chunky sweater, my huge work bag, etc, and he wanted to go out, and i said i wasn't dressed "night" enough, and he was like, um what are you talking about.  He has complimented:


argyle sweaters


plaid pants


glasses


when my hair looks pretty


once, he complimented a sort of formfitting summer dress


i think he likes when i look bookish.  not sure if he actually likes it when i look sexy.
