No my sister was doing the same with my nephew and I told her to stop. Try getting him to buy clothing that matches in store already?
That sounds outrageously nitpicky.

Let him where what he wants. Get counciling for your OCD so you can be more at peace with it. In the end he’s a grown man and can, and should, make decisions for himself.
Your mental health matters, so you should definitely see a doctor to help

That would frustrate me too! I wonder why he won’t take your advice on matching? Maybe have a serious conversation about how it makes your ocd go off and ask if you can maybe help him by setting outfits ahead of time or something?

Really up to him what he wears isn’t it? It’s a relationship, not a control thing. Your OCD is trying to take control

I think I’m kind of a tomboy…I really don’t know what kinds of colors match to make a perfect outfit. I tend to just wear sundresses or short and a tank top so I don’t have to match my outfit lol. I think putting that much stress on him just for his clothing choices is a bit silly. Life is too short to fret about that kind of thing.
Green shirt with brown shorts!? Umm have you not seen Scooby-Doo ? Those two items go together
And im confused on the color light black its black. Black goes with anything. You have way too much time on your hands if you’re nip picking what he puts on. COLOR WISE!!! Are his pants over his cheeks!? Is his pants 3xl larger than his size? Are they stained!? Does he button his pants or walk around with them undone!? Or are you just complaining to complain about color. ??? You are crazy if you waste your time with that. You need to find more things to fill out your day.

Crazy af. You’d lose your shit at a cosmetology school or salon where all black is required and our blacks NEVER MATCH! Some of us have real OCD that requires medication and we deal with a lot of real struggles minute by minute. You’re just too judgmental and honestly need to get a grip on reality if this is truly an issue for you.
Who cares how he dresses. Is he clean? Does he bathe, wash clothing?

My husband wears the same 2-3 shirts and i wish he’d wear different shirts he has so many! I have mentioned to him many times that I would like if he would change it up but I’ve learned he just likes those shirts. It’s not a big deal. He also will tell me if he doesn’t like something but I’ll wear it anyways. We have different styles.

Help a mama out and respond anonymously on our forum. Do I have a right to be annoyed that my boyfriend never matches his clothes?
OCD is bad and hard to work with but you can’t be annoyed at him for how he wants to dress you’ll just push him away
I get you have ocd but get a grip if your boyfriend wants to dress not to your standards let him his clothes his choice would be a pathetic excuse to break up with someone because they don’t match their clothes 
Be annoyed all you want, but putting down or criticizing him over his clothes is shitty. If that’s the worst thing he does, it sounds like you have a good man, and it’s shame that this is what you’re focused on.
Just sound mean u only have to say it once? Maybe !!!

My boyfriend’s red/green colorblind, and his favourite colour is red lol so he buys only red/black things to wear.
Yes I wish he’d change it up occasionally, but literally it’s the only color combo that doesn’t HURT his eyes to look at.
IMO yes your a wee bit nuts about this, but it’s something YOU need to work in with your OCD, not him.
It’s causing YOU a problem (insignificant one in the scheme of things) therefore you need to adjust not him.

My husband used to do that. We went out one day he had on blue shorts, a grey tshirt that said I love my Shih Tzu and mismatched sox and old sneakers. He was supposed to sit in the car while I ran into Tiffany’s to pick up a present. While I was looking around he snuck in and I found him surrounded by 3 blond beautiful sales girls laughing at his jokes. I got over being mortified about what he wore a long time ago. I was quite amused most times by him. What he lacked in fashion sence he more then made up in charm.

You don’t really have any right to comment on it or control how he dresses. It’s also up to you to manage your own triggers.
As others have said, he might also genuinely be colourblind

He might really be color blind. They see color but in different shades. Has he even been tested. It’s prominent in males with blue eyes but can be in others too.

Ok, going against the grain here. I’d tell him, but make it very clear that it’s your OCD kicking in and that you’re not asking him to change, but saying that it’s bothering you. Who knows, he might not actually care how he dresses and may be willing to cater to your idiosyncrasies. He might be really offended and feel you’re being ridiculous. That’s the risk you take. Go into it knowing that if this is a make or break issue for you, it may also be one for him.
I’m not saying this because I think it’s up to you what he wears or how he styles himself (god knows I’d like to change what my husband wears sometimes) but because in a healthy relationship, openness and communication are extremely important. If you guys can’t talk about what bothers you, it won’t work out.

I’m sure that no one else has mentioned this but perhaps he is colorblind.

Yes, I saw the other 100 people who brought this up.
Back in the day when I had to wear a suit to my financial services office (early 1980’s and later), I only wore dark blue pinstripe suits plus medium or dark grey pinstripe suits along with white or light blue shirts with conservative ties that went with any combination of suit and shirts from my closet. I bought 2 dozen pair of black knee high dress socks and only wore those. And, I wore black wingtip shoes.
With all that, whether I was home or on the road, I never had to worry that my colorblind eyes would make me look foolish in front of a major client.
And, I always went to one store for my custom shirts and another store for my semi-custom suits. That way, they knew me and my situation and made sure that every I owned already and that I was ordering matched up perfectly.
You see the lengths I went to. Your boyfriend probably doesn’t need all that so please, let the poor guy alone. Just give him gentle guidance, not criticism.

Im sure he didnt match when you first met. So many people try so hard to change their significant other to (Their liking) not what an who they originally are. Thats a control issue. Im sure youd be offended if he told you to change your clothes to his liking an youd freak out. Totally wrong of you to do this.

I’m color blind. I thought I had a brown suit and wife tells me it’s green. Also don’t really care what I wear. I’m confident in myself and don’t waste my money on matching clothes.
She did ask for ways to say it and not sound mean so it’s ironic how many people are putting mean comments honestly I would just Compliment him When he wears something that you love, don’t put him down or say anything negative if he wears something you don’t like though
I never say anything about what my man wears, he’s All cargo shorts and t-shirts!!!

Your OCD is acting up…let it go …there are far more important things to occupy your mind with…look at it as a funny little quirk and love it…its his unique style…
I just say “that doesn’t go” or “try that top with these shorts”. He never takes offence.
What does it matter? Clothes don’t always make the man. It’s not really important in the great scheme of things. If he treats you and any children right that should be all that matters surely?
Even if I bought them clothes they still would somehow not be able to coordinate them or I don’t know such a total loss
Maybe ask him if he notices that the colors don’t match and see if he likes it that way? Some people don’t care about that stuff.

Dear lady, I’m a guy and I don’t know you. I also never match my clothes. I wear comfortable clothes, that’s it. Don’t really care about colors.
Imho, you want him to wear some colours, you ask him that nicely. He’ll oblige because he cares about you.
It’s like he would ask you to give an opinion on a brand of tools over the other. Just like you don’t care of Milwaukee over Bosch, he might not care of blue over green. Sorry if I’m sexist, I do not wish to offend. Just to say that he simply doesn’t understand clothing as you do .
I tell you I absolutely hate that about the guys that I date or married I don’t know I love them but man so not compatible that way and I ended up finding them less and less attractive unfortunately
You can just tell him he doesn’t match and ask if he would mind you laying out/pairing up his clothes. Provided, it is extra burden on you, but if it’s that bothersome to you and he doesn’t care then you can lay out clothes for everyone or put matching outfits on the same hanger or reorganize drawers with top/bottom/ socks combos.
That sounds like something too need to work on within yourself and not try to change someone.
This would also drive me batsh*t lmao. Guys just don’t get our hang ups sometimes, doesn’t make them less valid ¯_(ツ)_/¯ sometimes I think my boyfriend literally sees a different world than I do because of how much he can ignore that bothers me lmao.
