My wife would like a softer style on me. Less Denin, Canvas Work Wear look and more of a cut and sewn TShirt, sneaker, softer look. I'm just not sure exactly what that is  I guess less IH, Tellason, Rogue Territory and more JCrew How can I soften my look and blend or incorporate more fun and less biker/worker/military style? |

ughh, sneakers
I did read recently that Euro tailored fashion is the new IT look for men.
Good luck with finding a happy medium.

Could it be something as simple as a t-shirt, chinos, and a pair of low-top converse all-stars? I tend to wear that when the weather warms up and it's a pretty easy fit for most occasions. You could also mix in some short sleeved patterned button downs in a lighter fabric or a lower profile chukka boot. Just a few things to ponder. And...if you really needed to soften up, i guess you could get some washed denim

I own about 1/2 of my button ups in Westerns/workwear and the other half in more classic one pocket, button down collar/spread collar; So depending on the venue/my mood, I can go more rugged--heavy denim, shit kicker boots, yoked western shirts, etc or go more office business casual--fitted slacks, shoes, untucked oxford, etc, or go more towards the "street look"--sneakers, hoodie, lightweight jeans etc. While I can appreciate @untucked 's approach of one style for all things, I enjoy the versatility of mixing and matching genres depending on the changing circumstances. Maybe this will change with time and I will have my style distilled down to a more homogeneous harmony, balanced with my day to day needs. DigDug maybe if your wife gives you some pictorial examples of what she envisions, you'll have a better idea? |

I don't subdivide my wardrobe in to work/play, night/day. All pieces are fair game at all times and occasions (Obviously, with the exception of dressy occasions) |

Do you find yourself emptying one particular genre out of your wardrobe more than others during your collection size down? |

Well, I guess we all know that my wardrobe is MOSTLY Iron Heart, so by default, that's what's mostly moving out. But, even after the clean-out is done, I will STILL have majority IH in my closet/wardrobe

I'm just not sure exactly what that is I guess less IH, Tellason, Rogue Territory and more JCrew How can I soften my look and blend or incorporate more fun and less biker/worker/military style?P My wardrobe lately is either: 1. Medium weight slim casual shirt, "tonal" slim fit jeans/slim chino (navy or black), and a pair of Common Projects/Adidas-Raf Simon sneakers. Outerwear will be either wool shirt jacket or if I want to go formal, I will be wearing my Engineering Garment Bedford jacket. 2. Thick hoodie, long sleeve t-shirt, black/grey slim sweatpant and a pair of Adidas NMD or Ultraboost. I really don't wear work boots, heavy jeans (over 14oz) and not heavy shirt anymore. |

DigDug hmm I would just wear simple colored tees and jeans/chinos (maybe incorporate it once a week) so it slowly keeps her off you to do a style change. Is this what I have to look forward to when I get married next year lol? If anything I will tell my future wife to stop wearing leggings always, I miss her wearing jeans like when we was first dating.

I don't mind my woman in denim but I specifically bought her more yoga pants just to enjoy the view at home. |

Other chicks wearing leggings/yoga pants is no problem haha. It's like i don't wear sweatpants to a steakhouse dinner (even though its good for the stomach gains). |

Just buy her a bunch of the awful Taylor Stitch women's stuff. That should keep her from looking for any style advice from you ever again.
