How can I tell him he doesn’t look as good as he thinks?
My boyfriend recently bought a new double-breasted suit and maintains they are coming back into fashion. I think he looks like a third-rate host in a second-rate restaurant. How can I tell him he doesn’t look as good as he thinks?
answer:
Gently. One of the reasons men go for double-breasted jackets is that salesmen believe they disguise a belly better than single-breasted coats. In other words, his style hypothesis may simply be a smokescreen. I think a gift is in order here so head to a menswear shop and ask them to recommend a one-button style for your man’s build in a dark color he can throw over jeans. Then compliment him mercilessly whenever he dons it. Flattery will win out every time.
