How being into fashion as a straight man changes your relationship:
More than many other hobbies or interests, fashion has the tendency to take over who we are — and not only superficially. Any substantial attraction to the industry requires one to follow the never-ending circuit of runway shows, pre-season collections and collaborations. At times, it feels more like a part-time job than a hobby.
I'm no relationship expert, but I've often read that dating someone with whom you share every interest could quickly become dull. For all I know, that may be true — but when there is a massive gulf between interests, things can be just as tricky. Based on some recent conversations with guys like me who consider themselves the person in the relationship who is more into fashion than their significant other, those dynamics vary wildly, from spending habits to excitement about clothing in general.
When it comes to his shopping habits, Decanali also notes the issue of inventory. "I have a personal policy of 'one in, one out,' just so that the volume of clothing never actually grows," he says. I've adopted a similar approach as I adjust my wardrobe toward fewer, higher quality garments. Each time I buy something new, I try to clear extra space by offloading at least one other piece. This not only saves space, but recoups some of the expense, as well.
Which brings up another key element of the fashion experience: shopping. While both Mirtsopoulos and Decanali avoid ever shopping with their girlfriends, Matt Breen, owner of clothing label Deveaux, says he's learned to shop with his wife in a productive way — most of the time. I've improved my ways, though, and have been a loyal fitting room consultant to my fiancé, finding ways to be helpful without being rude or annoying. When a shirt doesn't quite fit right, it's about pointing out that fabric is pulling in a certain spot or that the cut makes it lay weird rather than simply saying, "It doesn't fit you.
