Need Female Help Here...

[baksteen8168]

Right.... So it is my wife's B-day and i want to take her out for dinner tonight. Already arranged for the kids to stay at grandma's house, so that is sorted.

Also have the restaurant table booked, so that is sorted too.

What i need help with is picking clothes... She wears both dresses and normal pants and tops, so she has no real preference. What is more comfortable this time of year? I am leaning to the pants and jacket option, but she looks so good in a dress... I am seriously confused here....

So to summarize... Please help me with ideas for comfortable clothes.

For you @baksteen8168: you should not wear a dress . All jokes aside; you dress up and look as best you can, no jeans, decent pants & jacket, and you will score mega brownie points. What your wife should wear I can't advise.

Umm dont know if my opinion will help as I am a dress hater. But it's cold and Pants are warmer than dresses in my opinion.

That's the plan. dress smart and take her out.

You're sorted with your final decision.

agree with @annemarievdh, I'm not too sure what area you're from, but i know for sure that Cape Town is waaaaaaaayyyy too cold for a dress, but then again... a nice dress with a warm shawl could also work nicely

Nothing like a woman in a pretty dress! And if you are going to dress smartly, she will not feel comfortable in trousers imo.

I guess I’m just weird, I will never feel comfortable in a dress. Feel exposed and vulnerable Then again in trousers I feel strong, elegant and empowered.

This was what I was thinking too

 

[baksteen8168]

Okay, so walked the mall flat and could not find anything that I think she would like... then I saw this... Perfect for her as this is exactly the type and style she likes!!

(Excuse the high res)

Obviously needs new shoes...

A pair of black kneehighs and a pair of black pantyhose (for the cold and I dont know which she would prefer.

Will pick up flowers on the way home.

 

[annemarievdh]
