I (28F) am all about freedom, expression, and comfort when it comes to clothes/ fashion, but my boyfriends lack of effort hurts sometimes.
He always wears a cap, pants, and a t-shirt. Mind you, I have bought clothes for him, but he wears them once in a blue moon.
One time we went to a wedding and someone said to him “those look like your Friday clothes”. He had a short-sleeve button down and black jeans. Whilst , everyone else had a tuxedo on.
I’ve communicated with him multiple times how I appreciate a man who can clean up well, but he always says “that’s not me”.
It sounds so silly to breakup with someone because of this, but also, I can’t help but feel “triggered” by this. Sometimes I feel like we’re cut from different cloths.
Should I just learn to let go and let it be? Anyone else has had a similar experience?
TDLR; My boyfriend never dresses nicely.
