Me and my girlfriend have been together for over 2.5 years and both live together. I like looking nice and wearing nice clothes. For a long time I wore just boring plain t shirts of the same couple of colours but as I’ve gotten a bit older and more confident I wanted to start trying out new things. We were going on holiday this summer so when we were shopping for holiday clothes I saw a short sleeved shirt that was light pink. It’s not a colour I’ve worn before but I thought it looked nice so I mentioned to my gf that I was thinking of getting it and she started laughing. I asked what she was laughing at and said she thought I was kidding. I just left it and moved on and didn’t get the shirt.
When on the holiday we were going out for the night so I put a shirt on that I hadn’t had the chance to wear previously and she laughed again and said I’d look better in another shirt. Now to recently, we were going out for a meal yesterday. It’s a fairly nice restaurant and were going for drinks after. I was planning to wear a nice light blue shirt and was thinking about wearing a blazer with it. I’ve only really wore blazers for work but I have a nice dark grey one that I think looks really good. I mentioned it to my girlfriend and she just said she doesn’t think I should. Her point was that were were getting a few buses to the restaurant and I’d stand out and look out of place/overdressed so I should just leave it and stick with the shirt. I tried pointing out that she’s criticised/mocked my clothes choice a few times and it’s starting to hurt and she just denied doing it.
I’m not really sure hat to do, does anyone have any advice?
Tl;dr my gf has criticised/mocked my clothing choice a couple of time and won’t seem to accept it. Does anyone have any advice?

What’s her dress style like? Is she the sort that doesn’t make much of an effort and mInly goes with comfort?
Why do I feel your gf is a hoodie and sweats gal?
Let her play Barbie.
Ask her opinion on what she thinks you look good in.
I have taken public transportation in a ball gown and gave zero f’s. What people thought 😂
People are asking whether or not her dress style is more formal or informal, but this sounds to me like it is more a question of her view on masculinity and how it relates to what she finds attractive.
