I’ve heard a lot of wives complain their husband never dresses up when they go out. And I’ve seen plenty of decked-out wives with guys in jeans and a T-shirt.
Buy a reasonably dressy shirt or two to wear for date nights and other events. And once in a while, dress to the nines and take her somewhere extra nice.
A post worth reading:

Every time ZZ Top’s “Sharp Dressed Man” comes on, my wife says, “That is so true.”
Well said. I’m not horribly out of shape, but I’ve found that I simply look better when I wear more traditional things with more “ease” (room between clothes and me) on a daily basis. No problem since I’m an office type worker, really. Wife likes it, and as I tend to do natural fibers, it’s more comfortable, warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Added bonus, as I don’t tan well, is that I don’t have to put as much sunscreen on.
And the wife reciprocates, which is an even bigger bonus. She’s making me a pair of wool slacks even now from a pattern a retired cutter from Liverpool (sadly now deceased) designed for us.
Got cargo shorts and flip-flops on,
and a clean Def Leppard tee,
beard is kinda mostly gone;
what do you want from me?
When we met I dressed this way,
you didn’t seem to mind,
but here upon the marriage-way
it seems that love ain’t blind.
I can’t be no sharp-dressed man,
that’s way outside the line
of what I told ’bout my life plan,
and you said that sounded fine,
so what’s the change you have gone through
that I’m meaning less to you?
