How to Handle It When You Dress Better Than Your Girlfriend

So, you’ve got a great sense of style. You know how to put together an outfit, you’re confident in your choices, and you generally feel good about the way you look. But what happens when your girlfriend’s fashion sense isn’t quite on the same level? While it’s important to celebrate individuality, you don’t want her feeling insecure when the two of you go out on the town and you are dressed so much better than she is. Here are 6 tactful ways to navigate this situation without hurting her feelings or damaging your relationship.

1. Understand Your Motivation

Before you even consider broaching the subject, take a moment to honestly assess your own motivations. Are you genuinely concerned about her well-being and confidence? Or is it about ego, wanting to present a certain image as a couple, or feeling superior? If your intentions aren’t pure, it’s best to keep your thoughts to yourself. It’s crucial to ensure that any conversation about this topic comes from a place of love and concern, rather than judgment or vanity. Reflecting on your reasons will help you approach the subject with sensitivity and care.
