I disagree. Older guys may have female friends, but I don't know any single friends (including myself when I was single) that ask female friends to go shopping with them - maybe they should, but they don't.

I think it's a pretty big thing to ask a non-girlfriend/non-date to go out on a day shopping with you just to help you out.

Maybe it's a stereotype, but it seems based on fact that a lot more girls enjoy shopping for clothes than guys do and have a better eye for guys' clothes than guys themselves.

Lot's of services with stylists (who are mostly women) picking for clothes for guys & sending them to you in a pack are popping up, like The Cloakroom: https://thecloakroom.nl/en/

The only difference with this is that the guy and girl go out shopping in a city together.

But I also find it curious that the idea draws so many strong reactions - positive & negative. I think the name has an impact.

Interested to hear more thoughts from people.

I'm really curious that the two services I have seen mentioned here, Trunk Club & The Cloakroom, have such high prices.

In personal experience I spend more on clothes then most of my friends but I would never spend that amount of money on certain pieces of clothing.

The Cloakroom lists t-shirts as being €30-€90 ($38-$114) which seems outrageously high.

You're right on the reactions part - personally, i often find style suggestions from my gay friends (im straight) to be more valuable than from girls. Also curious as to why.

On higher end of scale, stores such as bloomingdales and neimanns (burgdorf for those in nyc) offer free personal shoppers.
