| Mother of 2 sons here. They both hate shopping for clothes. One goes into the mall with friends to walk around and occasionally comes home with one thing to wear, but that is the exception rather than the rule. Neither stands in front of a mirror. I do need to tell them to wear a belt on occasion, or that they are dressed out of season, or that something is a bit wrinkled or has a stain. There is wrinkled, and then there is wrinkled. I think that they would both put on something slightly wrinkled, but not something that looks like it was slept in for a week! My older son will call me to ask if something matches, or what he can get away with wearing when he needs to dress up, ie: "Can I wear tan pants with black dress shoes?" He already knows the answer, but wants to ask before bothering to "hunt down" his brown shoes. Heck, I did not even put white shirts on my boys until they were in their midteens, except for dress, because they would definitely come home with stain on it (something like chocolate ice cream or marinara sauce), so in that sense your son grew up already a step ahead of mine! |
