Would your SO know what size/style to buy?

I was just watching a video where boyfriends picked out outfits for their girlfriends, and it left me wondering... if your SO was to go out and buy you clothing, would they know what size to get? A good example was bra sizes. .

Or would they know what style you like vs. what you hate?

None of the guys I've been with would be able to style me at all. It would turn out horrendously. They take one thing they've seen me wear and decide that I must like all things _____. For example there were the galaxy print, rivet, leopard head, etc. trends. and then they'd think I like everything in a weird colorful fabric or covered in spikes LOL

I don't think they'd know my size, the one guy who buys clothes for me always has to call to ask every time. A few would have known my bra size.

Style absolutely.
Size? Probably not, but I don't even know what size I am half the time unless it posts the measurements.

It isn't that he doesn't know my size. He doesn't know clothes sizes. He thought my little sister - who is pretty much my size - would be an XXL in kids. KIDS. And that my other little sister, who has boobs twice my size, would fit into a small adult. Um. No, dear.

He *might* know my size as Victoria's Secret, because he's typically with me whenever I go bra/underwear shopping. But that's about it. LOL

I did give him the task of buying me a sweatshirt. We'll see how that turns out.

He knows my size and he could probably find something in my style. But what he would pick would be something his style for me (hoochy)

I think DH could pick out something in my style, but then my style is very simple. Most days for work I wear jeans, a solid colored tshirt and a cardigan, and I wear something similar on weekends. I don't think he'd have a problem picking out something I would generally like.

I'm sure he wouldn't know what size to get though. He would probably be close, within one or two sizes.

Style, probably, I'm pretty easy.
Size, well... even I don't know what size to get most of the time! It depends too much of the brand... I'm a small for a lot of things but sometimes some Tshirts are too tight and I need M or L. Go figure.

Yes yes yes. Better than I do. He knows my shoe size and has found me all my favorite shoes. He finds me all my clothes and knows my style better than I do. He knows my size at Express and Banana Republic.

Bras? Yep. He would NOT pick my style, though.

I'm kinda hard to fit in clothes... I literally have pants in like 20 different sizes that all fit me because it depends on the cut of them.

But he knows my general size and my style. I don't think he'd be able to shop for me though.... it takes him 5 hours to buy one thing for himself.

My husband could do it all day. He knows exactly what I like and could probably get pretty close with size.

He knows my bra size so that would be easy for him too.

I have unfortunately not dated a guy metrosexual enough to be able to pick out good clothes for me in... uhhh... well, probably since the term "metrosexual" became popular.

Mine is good with style usually, but he is bad about getting stuff that's a bit on the small size. It's flattering that he thought I would fit in a juniors Lg lol. ;)

Style: yes. My boyfriend is super fashionable and metrosexual and I'd let him dress me 100% of the time, but he's always like "babe, just wear what you like, you're not supposed to dress for me." YES BUT I LOVE EVERYTHING CLOTHES YOU LIKE.

Size: I think it depends on the item. Jean size or dress size, nah. He could most likely chose my size in tops, sweaters, etc. Bra size...I think I've told him but IDK if he remembers. Shoe size he'd probably get.

Nope... I don't really even know my size or style LOL. Seriously! my style
Is "whatever is on sale"! My size depends on the store/cut/brand. So yeah... No.

Style: For sure. I'm super easy. Jeans, t-shirt, hoodie. XD

Size: I'm a sucky fit for jeans. Always have to go to 2nd hand stores to find pre-loved ones. But I'm sure he could get the right bra and underwear from experience. :eek: Shirt should be fairly simple as well.

It's kind of embarrassing for me to admit, but David buys all of my bras/undies and most of my clothes :eek: I hate shopping SOOOO much! It get's to the point he just gives up on me shopping and buys me things :p lol It's ok though, he knows what I like ^_^

Style, YES. The style I like and the style he likes are quite similar. I know if he picked something out for me it'd be something appropriately color schemed (I'm very pale and my skin washes out if I even look at pastels) and a little (or a lot) on the edgy side.

Size, no way. I don't think he understands womens clothes sizes in the first place. I think he'd pick sizes a lot smaller than what I actually wear, because apparently I don't look as fat as I actually am.
