As far as how these maid costumes became so popular, it’s impossible to pin down one specific reason. But maid cosplay is especially popular in Japan, where maid cafés bring in plenty of customers every day.
According to Tokyo Treat, these cafés were created in the early 2000s to combat loneliness in the country after the economic crash of the 90s. The cafés were established to provide people with a safe place to socialize and relax after work. And while these cafés have skyrocketed in popularity in Japan, they’ve also contributed to the rise of maid cosplay all over the world.
While plenty of people do choose to wear these maid outfits for fun (even men!), that’s clearly not what’s happening in this story. And it’s perfectly fine to innocently buy your partner something to wear if they’ll actually enjoy it and wear it when they like. But picking out clothes for someone else and demanding they wear them at a specific time can be a huge red flag in a relationship.
PsychCentral notes that one of the warning signs that you might be in a relationship with a controlling partner is if they start making decisions for you. Another red flag is trying to micromanage and control things, such as what their partner wears.

When it comes to why it’s inappropriate to tell your partner what to wear, HerNorm explains that this is an indirect way of controlling your body. Your body is your own, and nobody has the right to tell you what to do with it.
