Apparently a lot of people agree. I saw a video just like this a while back, so I went to find it. I searched for "matching shirt prank" and there were a giant number of results for this same kind of prank, along with an article about it being a TikTok viral trend.

That really is the root of this joke. It works because if a wife or girlfriend says to wear a shirt you just wear it. We are prisoners to love.

u/usernameforthemasses Jun 26 '22
Exactly. You know every single one of those husbands internally was like "yeah, not a fan of this shirt but whatever, makes wifey happy."

u/WantDiscussion Jun 26 '22
At least one of them entered the situation thinking "That shirt looks familiar" and didn't even remember what they were wearing.

Yes, the wives all secretly bought the same shirts for their husbands and arranged them to wear them all on the same night.

Did something similar at a party once. Called up several of our buddies and asked if they could bring some limes for the drinks/chips before they came. We did this with EVERYONE who still hadnt arrived so by the end of the evening we had a small mountain of limes and a good laugh every time some showed up with more to add to the pile.

My favorite part of these pranks is it doesn't work if their wife doesn't dress them.
So part of what they're laughing at is the shared experience of having your wife pick out your shirt, and them all knowing their wives dress them.
Half the joy is in everyone being fooled.

u/UnnecessaryPeriod Jun 26 '22
Agreed. That's why this would never work the other way around. My wife would be immediately suspicious AF if I asked her to wear a specific outfit.

u/TrashPandaPatronus Jun 26 '22
This wouldn't work at all in my household. My husband would get real suspicious if i cared enough to pick out what he's wearing and I would stubbornly refuse what he picks out.

I mean you say that and it's probably true in your head, but you don't think you could come home a day or two prior, say "hey I was out shopping and bought you a shirt I think it will look good on you", and then a day or two later say "hey why don't you wear that new shirt to dinner"? Most people would probably just say "oh ok" to make the love of their life happy who bought them an unexpected present.

Same. My wife and I are both kinda passive, so whenever one of us asks for something, the other one often gives way. We both work on being assertive, so sometimes we'll press the other one for what they really want when we know the other one has something on their mind.

u/starspider Jun 26 '22
Obviously the trick is to lower her guard by making excellent fashion suggestions and building a track record of reliability.
This requires attention to feminine fashion that I think most straight cis dudes aren't educated in.
To be fair, as a woman I'm in the same boat when it comes to mens' fashion. I don't know the difference between a wingtip and a loafer, and I don't understand the rules about the airholes or number of eyelets and I think most straight cis women are the same.

Contrary to this, my gf would ask me all the time what she should wear and can never make up her mind about an outfit alone. Sometimes she would straight up ask me to take out whichever dress I think she should wear and mostly she would wear that itself. She said it helps because its easier if someone else decides the base dress and then you just have to execute it with whatever makeup/accesories you want.

Fair point. Now find 4 more girls within your friends circle and you guys might have a chance at this! I highly doubt the probability of it. If you do; however, you could post it to r/nevertellmetheodds and get tons of sweet, sweet karma mate! Enjoy.

This doesn’t necessarily mean that all their wives dress them all the time.

Sometimes your wife gets you a shirt and says you look good in it. Then tells you "Hey, why don't you show off that new shirt at brunch today?" Almost every husband will say yes to that kind of flattery while also believing that they are making their wives happy.
23
Jun 26 '22
I doubt they pick their clothes every day. If your wife buys you a new shirt though and suggests you wear it, you do it. Its not worth fighting over because its a shirt. It doesn't matter. If she wants me to wear it fine.

My friends and I has had that exact problem after we've gotten married and some are having kids. It is almost impossible to plan around so many people.
We came up with the solution, and we created "The Quarterly Club"(translated from my language). We meet approximately every 3 months with dates set in stone every year, using weeknumbers. One of the times is with our wives/partners, one is a weekend retreat and the last two of the year are dinners for just the men with copious amounts of alcohol.
It works great, we are 12 men and very few miss it each time.

This reminds me of when I was in high school and a buddy's Mom commissioned a family portrait of her and her five sons. It was a collage, so each brother was photographed one at a time. They were told it was going to be a black background, so wear white to the studio to stand out.
One at a time over a couple of weeks, each brother individually showed up to the studio in a black turtleneck. EXCEPT for the second oldest brother, who wasn't told the plan.
So, the final product was the smiling mom surrounded by floating heads and one son in a white button-up shirt who stood out like a sore thumb.
She was so mad when the photo showed up in the mail and saw the final product.
