As parents we get the glory that comes with picking out clothes for our little ones. But how many of us secretly long to lay out the day's outfit for our significant other?
If you ever 'tsked or inwardly cringed at what your partner was wearing - thinking you'd do so much better if only you could dress him (her) - this one's for you.
Couples in this set-up by Cosmo were given the chance to choose each other's outfit for the day. And the results, predictably, are Internet gold.
Of course we all have our own ideas about what looks good on a man (woman), but the reality is, our selections would probably be fodder for What Not To Wear.
"I feel like scuba-Barbie-goes-to-the-strip-club," says one woman in the experiment. "Is this what you want for me?"
I have to admit I'm lucky. My man dresses pretty well, albeit he's gone a bit conservative over the years. Really nice jeans, and thankfully no backwards ball caps or low-slung pants.
But I know he wouldn't say the same for me. I'll be the first to admit an intervention is needed. Yet I shudder to think of the sartorial pains he would inflict, given half the chance.
In a heartbeat, it would be goodbye yoga pants, ciao baggy tops.
There would be heels. Reader, there would be skirts far shorter than my comfort zone would permit. There would probably even be - gasp- florals and bright prints.
In short, it would be all-out war. But heaven forbid he ever put me in an outfit like the woman in this clip, who looks like a cross between "a Brat doll or a Kendall Jenner wannabe."
Still, I'd like to think I respect my husband far too much to ever put him in leather pants...
