A bolo tie with my face on it, romantic?

r/

I am wondering if I am unromantic here or my partner is genuinely crazy. He, 39m, recently ordered a bolo tie with my face on it and he wants to wear it in public because the bolo tie is the official tie of Arizona, where I am from. Also, he says because I am at the Grand Canyon in the picture, which he feels is important and he needs me to add that the Grand Canyon is also in Arizona. 🙄 He doesn’t ever dress in western wear, in fact he doesn’t have a single article of clothing that he could wear with it. He is a flop flop, t-shirt and cargo shorts guy. He is not fashionable but I wouldn’t say he has bad fashion sense (until now). He does know how to dress nice for events. I told him I will not go out in public with him wearing that. Am I wrong?

    It’s silly in the most loving way possible. Take him somewhere with a sense of humor!

    Aww what a sweet dork. Don’t be uptight about it, just love his weirdness. Get a bandana with his face on it and use it to tie your hair up.

    He is sweet. Get him a collared shirt for his birthday so he has something to wear with it.

    I got my boyfriend boxers with my face on them for Christmas. He LOVES them and wears them every other week/every time laundry is done. Not exactly the same as a tie, but I think this is just cute. It’s a cute reminder if you, buy him a nice button down to wear it with and go out for a date night and enjoy yourselves.

    When my late husband thought he should buy and then wear a utilikilt in public, I wanted to disown him.

    But it made people smile. A couple guys asked where he got it. And I remembered that he was a grown-ass adult and he’s allowed to make clothing choices for himself. Even if he went out in full clown makeup, we are different people who like different things and express ourselves differently.

    What he wears means NOTHING about me. What your partner wears means NOTHING about YOU. Let him wear what he wants! It hurts nothing

    It’s a bit dorky and I’d be a little bashful about a partner wearing something with my face on it, but it comes from a very sweet and thoughtful place. There are a lot of terrible partners out there who like to hide their habits (sorry, I just got cheated on and found out on Reddit, lol), so I find what your partner wants to do to be refreshing.

    Did you marry your husband for who he is or his tie? Okay then, let the man have fun and wear his tie or you are wrong.

    wait wait wait WAIT

    So you’re saying if I move to Arizona I get to wear fucking bolos instead of regular ties!?

    Girl… he made a bolo tie shrine to your face. That’s not fashion—it’s devotion with a side of chaos. Honestly? Iconic behavior.

    I haven’t seen it, and this could be deeply spooky or very silly.

    Please do take him shirt shopping, ideally somewhere that has an in house tailor and some cosy fabrics.

    Many people who avoid dress clothes have never owned a single one that fits comfortably, but have worn some painful garbage as a child.

    It’s completely reasonable to avoid badly fitted dress clothes, in uncomfortable fabrics, especially if he has a mid to large neck that gets squeezed by stingy tailoring.

    This sounds like the perfect opportunity for a dorky family photo shoot. He dresses up in his best wolves howling at the moon tee along with his bolo tie with your face on it. You show up in a sweater with his face knitted into the front and the most 80s librarian glasses you can find.
