Does your man know how to dress?

Shane is a breath of fresh air. He can DRESS! He actually enjoys shopping (now I know this scares most girls because he sounds gay, but believe me, he's NOT!) He buys brown and black shoes, matching belts and nice slacks and button up shirts for work. Very tasteful "power ties", and even is nice enough to wear a white tee underneath. He wears cologne too and not the cheap stuff. His socks aren't that great, but they are under his pants and a desk, so I'm not sweating that. Now he has his days. He wears some butt ugly Old Navy olive green cargo shorts that are getting old and some holes are forming. He also has some t-shirts that have seen better days. Silly "man" t-shirts with crude sayings on them. But he's at least allowed those to be worn strictly in the house and he changes to go out. He also has a pair of leather sandals that I insist stay outside. Hey, leather absorbs sweaty feet and it's nasty!
Other than the Old Navy shorts and the silly tees, oh and the sandals, it's all good. And to see that man in a pair of Wranglers and boots is....okay, Mama's getting hot!
Later! Gotta call my man!

Good questions! I've been thinking about this lately. I am not thrilled with my
I wear skirts and dresses almost exclusively in warm (50 degrees and up) weather. I don't like pants, except in winter when it's too darned cold for bare legs. Then I wear velour.
I like lots of asian style things, or polynesian prints. I LOVE sandals (I hate my feet being closed in) and in winter I wear boots and cushy socks.
I don't wear nasty sweats, I even mow the lawn in a skirt. I have two loose khaki shirts with lots of pockets and some twill pants that I wear for Archaeological digs. I HATE jeans, they've never fit me right and I won't wear something that stiff.
NOw, to what men think of it. If they like it fine, if not...I'm still going to wear what makes me comfortable.
Some men love it, some don't. Trav loves it.
I admit to not dressing up for him...because he doesn't dress for me...I don't know how many times he's shown up in his oldest jeans and tennis shoes...his rational being that he can be comfortable with me...so while he likes heels and stuff, I won't put them on for him unless I want to wear them. It's retaliatory. (I know, I know.)
My question is, how do women dress for their men?
I dress up 5 days a week for work. Suits, normally, or professional separates. I'm starting to wear more and more skirts. I've got great calves, I want to show them off. I always wear nylons (even in the summer when it's 110 outside - because it's SOOOOO cold in my office!) and nice shoes. My dh compliments my appearance as I leave for work a few times a week.
On the weekends, if we are going out, he dresses me. Seriously. He's got GREAT taste in clothes, knows what HE likes, knows what I like, and he shops with me the majority of the time and normally picks outfits he likes. He likes me in nice pants and pretty, feminine tops. He likes me in high heeled sandals, but he's very sensitive to my desire to NOT wear shoes that feel like I have a spike driving into my heel! LOL If we are at home, with the kids, or running around with the kids, I'm normally in either athletic pants (not baggy - yoga pants - slim fitting with flared bottoms) or athletic shorts and clingy tanks and ts. He loves that. I don't own baggy anything - I hate baggy stuff. In the winter, I wear jeans and boots and turtleneck sweaters all of the time. He loves that, too. HE LOVES me in jeans and turtlenecks. LOL
