This article made me literally-lol in a quiet room filled with software engineers. Thanks for that. It was worth the stares.

I know what you’re going through! My husband is 35 and he just recently decided to start “dressing like a grownup” after someone at work told him his shirt with a shark leaping out of a washing machine was cool, but maybe he could come to work a little more polished.

This is a 35 year old dude that typically used to sport jeans, the one pair of tennis shoes he owned, and some sort of graphic t-shirt. His favorite t-shirt has a calculator on it that spells out 8008135 in square calculator font, or “BOOBIES” if you’re still mentally back in 8th grade algebra class. I love that shirt. It’s fine, you know, just maybe not when we’re going out to eat at a nice restaurant.

Years of my passive aggressive, “You’re gonna wear that?” comments didn’t seem to phase him, but when his boss told him in the nicest possible way to stop dressing like a man-boy, he changed.

Miracles can happen.

When in doubt about your wardrobe, ask your wife! Trust me, she knows what’s up.
