pleats

MIL bought Ty a few pairs of dress pants for work and they're pleated. Ick! I think pleated pants are just the ugliest, dumpiest looking things for men AND women. "Hey, I'd like to look fatter please. Oh, and also, it would be sweet if my crotch area looked all saggy, thanks." Ughhhh. DH likes them. He is a big guy, he does NOT need to look bigger. Also, the bigger the size of the pants, the bigger they make the pleats - it looks like he's wearing a diaper in the front. He looks completely ridiculous but doesn't care and won't listen to me. I hate it, maybe I'll "accidentally" spill some bleach on them...Or maybe I'll buy a pair for myself just to show him how disgusting I look in them and then return them along with the fail pile MIL bought him!!

Re: pleats

  • and they are just wrong... on both sexes! 

    Just call him Diaper Man when he wears them... if you bleach them, MIL might get more!    DH had a pink shirt and I asked him who his b!tch was... he stopped wearing it. For a confident guy, I'm amazed it bothered him!  Hope it helps!

    **any word on the job?**

  • LOL!  DH, unfortunately, still has some pleated pants lingering in the closet from our pre-dating days.  Early on in our relationship when we went shopping I gently mentioned that pleated pants weren't as nice looking as flat front, and proceeded to find a nice pair of flat front pants for him.  It was a breakthrough!  Now that's what he buys.  But, for whatever reason, there are still some pleated ones that he has and wears.  I can't stand them, but I'm hoping they fall apart soon.

  • Ew, man pleats. Not cool. J has one pair of pants with manpleats but it's because it was part of a seersucker suit I made him buy . . . but now I try to make him wear it with khakis because I can't deal with the pleats.
  • I don't know why they still even make pleated pants.  VERY few people can pull them off.  My brother has a pair that came with a suit and the pleats are so small you can't tell.  Other than that, no way no how.

    I think you should get a great good will pair and rock those bitches till he realizes how bad they are.

  • Ew!

    I especially love when guys with a gut push their belt under it and then the pleats form a big empty pouf, like a double chin...only it's a double-belly.

    There's a radio talk show host that calls them fuppa's.

  • Embarrassed My DH has to wear pleated pants...but only 1 pleat...not the 80s style multi-pleat.  He is a big guy and flat front just doesn't look right on him.
