Yes. But the answer is no if all she wears is sweatpants. Then again, the answer would be yes if she was really, extremely hot and only wore sweatpants.

G/F is definitely into style and high fashion, always hunting for up and coming designers and new styles. We even go to fashion shows together. Thank god she makes her own money, otherwise she'd be too expensive to keep around.

I don't think any of my friends (save 1 who is solid) are stylish. I've never dated a girl with good style. My ex of 3 years tried to get better as she saw me making strides. I talked to her online the other day and apparently she's dressing better these days. Good for her. Don't really care that much about my girl being into fashion or anything as long as she was open minded to trying to understand something that is a interest/hobby of mine.

If you had two extremes...

A. Unstylish girl, but was pretty, caring etc...

B. Very stylish girl, but all she talked about was fashion

I would go with A and never go with B. There is enough style and fashion talk between styleforum and my business, so the last thing I would want is my girl to be critiquing strangers' outfits as we are walking down the street.

What exactly are the advantageous of this, other than, of course, lowered expectations?

The best is to have a girlfriend who is happy that you are into style and fashion.

I think this is the best advice so far.

Im really enjoying all your opinions, guys.

My girlfriend is beautiful a movie-star-ishly elegant in her mannerisms (in a good way).

She wears Michael Kors mainline and Club Monaco. Is this good enough?

Sounds like it.
Mine is all thrift/Wal Mart (but an absolutely rocking body...wtf) but willing to change.

So basically she lacks fashion sense and needs someone to provide ready made solutions for her.

But better than a walmart girl, of course.

My current girlfriend can't dress herself at all. Worst she can't tell me when ******** up and look bad. LOL

Really not very important though. If they make you happy that's the most important. It's never been the hottest or the most stylish girl who makes me happy. Quite frankly the hotter the girl the more miserable they made me.
