What do you do when you’re married to a caveman who wears the same thing every day? How about buy him what you’d like him to wear? My husband always wears faded blue jeans, the kind that scream “cop!” but (as I’ve mentioned quite a few times) I always preferred a bit of a preppier look. I dress my sons so of course I can get them to wear what I like, but my husband tends to have his own taste.
So I shopped for a new pair of jeans for my husband, a pair of Gap Men’s 1969 Slim Jeans in Starlight, a total detour from his norm, and to me he looks fabulous in them. He insisted they weren’t his style, he wouldn’t be comfortable in them… then he spied himself in the mirror, and his tune changed quite a bit (he plans to keep them).
(i’m surprised he wasn’t tipped off about how great they looked when the gentleman at the Gap who was helping him kept flirting with him)
They are great for days he is playing around with our boys or just relaxing and wants to be more casual, but still comfortable and stylish. The 1969 Slim Jeans for men look great with a tee or with a polo shirt:
He can wear them out and about with a sweater or sweatshirt (a hooded sweatshirt for these cold winter days!):
He can dress his Gap 1969 Slim Jeans up a bit with a white shirt for our date night, and even a cotton blazer for dressier, non-formal events (like a dinner, a meeting at work, etc):
Gap’s 1969 Slim Jeans for men are a versatile and flattering fashion piece for a man’s wardrobe, with lots of mix and match possibilities (most men tend to be minimalist so they would appreciate this). The color makes it especially adaptable for different events and all-year round wear. He can wear them into the spring and look great (and they were only $59.95). Gap is offering Women’s Skimmer as well, in a variety of colors, which I plan to take a look at for myself, especially with an upcoming trial offer.
Those pants would be PERFECT for my fiancee! He likes to wear the same pants all the time, which would be fine if they weren’t worn out jeans that have an indent now from where his phone rests.
They look terrific on him! Never thought to shop there for the guy, but I sure do shop there myself!
Hubs refuses to wear dress pants EVER so he needs a pair of these for church.
Wow, they really are versatile. My husband is a jeans guy also and I can’t remember the last time I saw him in any other kind of pant, lol.
I wonder if my husband would wear these.
Not sure if my hubby would wear them or not.
I love that they can be dressed up or down! I think he looks great in them and don’t think my husband would mind this small, yet stylish, clothing upgrade.
Nice jeans! He looks great in them.
They look great. I bet my husband would love them.
What a great looking pair of jeans. I’ll have to pick up hubby a pair.
I love a pair of pants (for men or women) that are versatile… dress them up or down.
Those are great jeans! My husband used to wear horrid jeans, they were TAPERED! Agh! After 12 years, I’ve spent enough time shopping with him that he’s actually developed a personal sense of style and now does his shopping on his own. He shops for clothes more often than I do!
Those are some really great looks!
They are nice jeans!
They look nice. My husband can wear jeans to work so he is always looking for different styles.
Those pants really look perfect on him! Perfect choice, Penelope.
he wears them well. very nice sleek and casual as well as dressy
I don’t think my husband would wear those – he is so picky! Yet, those look really fab.
Gap is the only jeans my husband will buy. Love the Gap!
He is definitely rockin’ those jeans!
The pants look great!
I love Gap but yet to ever buy the hubby anything from there.
Those are very nice!
Our hubbies sound similar.. I think I married a caveman too, who wears those blue jeans every day that he doesn’t work! My hubby won’t wear khakis, but they do look great!
Gap is one of my favorite stores for my husband and son!!
They seem like a good choice for a guy who prefers casual, but wants to “step things up” once in awhile. This way they still have the comfort of jeans.
Those are great. The boy have several pair of the 1969 Gap jeans and I love them.
I love all the versatility in Gap jeans!
these looks fabulous! I should get a pair for my fiance!
He looks very daper in those pants!
At first when I read Slim Jeans, I thought “my husband would never wear those”. But while they’re slim, they’re not like women’s skinny jeans.
Those look great! I should get my man a pair!
I love how you can dress them up or down. That would be a hit with my husband.
I love the quality of GAP clothing. My husband only owns one pair of jeans! He prefers khakis and that’s what 70% of his wardrobe is!
They do look good. I just know my husband wouldn’t like them.
