That's What He Said

Full disclosure: this interview was with my husband, who was not completely unwilling.

Gerald

Age? 26

T: What kind of style do you like to see (on females)?

“I like sundresses and yoga pants.” (chuckles)

T: What trends, or specific items, do you hate?

“Button up shirts and suits...a business environment is different but if that’s just what you wear it’s not attractive to me. I don’t like suits on females...is that sexist?”

T: How do you feel about make-up? 

 “Moderation, that’s all I can say.”

T And what about high heels?

“Moderation. You can’t just wear high heels with everything, like short shorts. You can’t just look like a hooker. And they can’t be like 8 inches long. You can’t just add 8 inches to your height and think it's okay. It’s trickery.”

T: What's that supposed to mean? Are you trying to say something? (I'm 4' 11" and have been known to wear some possibly ridiculous shoes in possibly ridiculous situations)

"No! (chuckles) I don't mean you specifically. When I met you you were barefoot."

T: Do you consider yourself “stylish”?

“I would be more if...I can tell if something looks good, so yeah. My wife dresses me so, yeah!”

This is entirely true.

T: What does the term "stylish" mean to you?

“Able to coordinate clothes or...pull off something different and make it work.”

T: What’s your personal style?

“Thug life. Just joking, um basketball-skaterish?...um whatever-my-wife-dresses-me-in style. And pajama pants.”
