Why do Women ALWAYS Need a New Outfit?

We've been invited to a Christening. I'm not that thrilled about it, even though they are good friends. You know, it's a Christening after all.

The party afterwards will be okay, but it's a Sunday so we won't be able to get too pissed because of work the next day. So all in all it's a bit of a non-event.

But Sue says she needs a new outfit for it.

I said, "You've gotta be kidding! Surely you've got something to throw on. It's only an old church service after all."

She says I just don't understand and that's just typical.

Typical of what? Typical of me or of the whole male population as a whole?

Supposing I needed a new outfit every time we went to a wedding or a funeral or a Christening or a party? Am I missing something here?

Ladies, please try and explain to me.

I only feel good in an outfit so new that I haven't yet realised it looks horrible, or something old and comfortable that I used to look good in. There is no frock which looks good every time you wear it, because you might get a different mood. Lately I've gone in for changes in hair colour instead of new outfits. Which is probably more expensive. I'd like to see naturism catch on at events like school speech day and wedding receptions.

it is expensive but true that when going to a wedding, christening or any important social function it is sometimes hard to enjoy yourself unless kitted out in new gear that reflects your mood at the time. Something you've worn to one or two other big events is ok. Something you've worn to work or down the pub is not. My fiance also would probably find it hard to understand, but I see the new purchase of special sexy semi-backless top I wore on our first dinner date as very important in the beginning of our relationship. First dates also require new clothes, for confidence.

My eldest son is getting married in three weeks. I asked his wife-to-be if I HAVE to wear a suit, (I do have one but can't get into it). She grimaced and said, 'Well you don't HAVE to as long as you don't wear jeans.' I suppose that means I have to buy a pair of new pants that I'll never wear again!

get some of those slacks with zips below the knee, then you can detach the bottom bits and wear as sleeves in winter

Well the apposite answer to your very impertinent question, Karl, is... Hello?! Like, talk to the hand... I had to (or at least my good friend, Paul Greco, had to) (on the orders of female kind) buy a new shirt for a christening recently. He thought it was a perfect compromise, to buy the shirt and wear his rather smelly adidas trainers. Alas, the trainers were vitoed. [in fine American stand-up style] what's that all about? It's a christening! People pretending they'd give a f**k and look after the kid if the parents were involved in a horrific car crash. It's a two faced hypocrisy fest. Why should I wear my f**king work shoes... ...but I did... Can't cabbies work whenever they feel like. I thought that was the beauty of the job (teachers are the opposite, of course. Peak-price holidays a go-go.)

No point in even trying to explain Karl as I doubt if most men would understand anyway so waste of our time. I think you might like most men, would have been more reponsive to Sue's request if you knew you were going to be able at the party and consume more drink, as you said because..............you can't... Only being honest in my opinion

In Derwydd, South Wales, at the home of my good friend Norman Christopher, whose daughter is a senior hairdressing instructor at Carmarthen College. She needs the practice you see.

What men don't understand is that the concept of "clothes" is a transient one. Like a caterpillar that feeds and grows for a few weeks, when it emerges as a butterfly it is the same animal but a butterfly not a caterpillar. In the same way when clothes have been chosen, purchased and worn a few times they metamorphose from being "outfits" to being "just clothes" whilst retaining the same intrinsic properties. j

My mum is dragging me into town with her next weekend so I can help her buy a dress for a party she doesn't actually want to go to. My theory is that she's spending the money to make herself feel better about going to the dumb party in the first place.
