He’s Embarrassed By His Girlfriend’s Style And Feels She Dresses Too Inappropriately, But He Isn’t Sure How To Broach The Topic
This 28-year-old guy has been dating his girlfriend, who is also 28, for almost four years. And since their relationship has been going great, discussions about marriage are becoming increasingly more serious.
However, there is one thing holding him back from tying the knot: his girlfriend’s clothing choices.
According to him, his girlfriend is “not maturing” when it comes to style, and that is kind of concerning to him.
For context, when they first entered a relationship, his girlfriend was actually pretty conservative in terms of wardrobe. But then, as they continued dating, he started encouraging her to be confident and show herself off a little more.
“I would even be the one to buy her the most revealing outfits, as sometimes she wouldn’t feel confident enough to buy them herself,” he explained.
Anyway, that was great throughout their earlier twenties since they would go out with their friends a lot.
“And who doesn’t love their girlfriend being the [hottest] and best looking in the place?” he added.
Now that they are both a bit older, however, he feels like his girlfriend just does not dress appropriately for outings most of the time.
For instance, they sometimes go out for nice dinners– like most couples. But, for these dates, his girlfriend tends to choose outfits that are extremely revealing.

He claimed that his girlfriend still looks incredible in these get-ups. Nonetheless, he has noticed that her outfits are just not appropriate for the places they frequent.
Instead, he believes outfits that are more elegant would actually make his girlfriend look even better. Plus, because she tends to dress so revealingly on a regular basis, he actually feels kind of embarrassed that his girlfriend is so “out there.”
“It’s not that I don’t like those clothes anymore,” he clarified. “Because if we’re going out to a bar, club, or festival, these outfits are great, and it feels fine.”
On the other hand, when it comes to dates and other formal events, his girlfriend’s style honestly just makes him uncomfortable.
Still, he’s at a loss about how to confront his girlfriend with his perspective because he doesn’t want to sound like a hypocrite or as though he is shaming her.
That’s why he’s been left trying to figure out the best way to start a conversation about his girlfriend’s style without upsetting her.
Are our twenties a big transition period when it comes to our wardrobe? Does it sound like his girlfriend’s style is just maturing later than other people’s? Regardless, can you understand why he is a bit embarrassed when they go to certain dinners and events? How do you suggest he handles this situation?
