Husband Wore Summer Clothing in Summer: Can’t Believe

I think I’ve mentioned before that my husband refuses to wear summer clothing. Not in the 90 degree heat in Los Angeles in June. Not in the 90 degree heat and 90% humidity in Northern Virginia in July.

Nope. In the middle of June in the blistering Los Angeles heat (well, not now, but usually), everyone else is walking around in T-shirts and tank tops. Then you see my husband in sweatshirts and jeans. Sometimes with a T-shirt and a sweatshirt under that.

Why? I do not know. He is a nice-looking guy. He has nothing to hide under his winter clothing. It is not a religious thing. It is not a feeling cold despite the heat thing. I have no idea why he does this.

I have tried to ask him why, but I never really get an answer. I usually just end up not really thinking much about it. But then one of my friends will ask, “Isn’t your husband HOT in that sweatshirt today??? It’s 95 degrees outside!” Then I become afraid that he might have a heatstroke or something and try to ask why he doesn’t want to wear a T-shirt, and the conversation goes nowhere, and I forget again.

But something happened this summer. He has worn short-sleeved shirts (without the weird sweatshirt under it look that he LOVES) TWICE this summer. I don’t know what to think. It’s like being married to a new man. What will he do next?

    Tell a funny joke? Use a pants hanger? The possibilities are endless and exciting!

    Oh, Miss Thystle, you did see my post on HOW my husband uses pants hangers, right?

    He bends the ends upward, so the hanger “smiles” and hangs his pants by the beltloop. (Of course, they wrinkle when he does it this way, so it defeats the point of hanging them. But it is kind of fun to look at.)

    Does your husband hang pants? I’m guessing NO WAY NO HOW.

    We live in SoCal too and my husband does the same thing. I finally realized that he wears whatever’s in his closet. During the first heat wave, he had on a pair of wide wale black courdoroys on, and I’m like no,no,no. So each season I have to empty his closet(the small one in the hall, ha, ha, of the ‘off-season’ clothes leaving behind only the appropriate things.
