With more than 380,000 Instagram followers and counting AFL WAG Nadia Bartel has fans keeping tabs on her every sartorial move.
And in an interview on The Morning Show on Wednesday, her sports star husband Jimmy revealed she had a sneaky trick to ensure he keeps up with the style blogger in the fashion stakes.
The 33-year-old explained that Nadia would regularly use subtle methods to hint that he should change his outfit.

‘She does it in such a nice way about whether or not I want to wear those shoes with a certain type of jeans,’ Jimmy told the Channel Seven show. ‘So she is basically telling me to change them.’
The former Geelong player added that her tweaks extended to their one-year-old son Aston.
‘I do not think that Aston and I can get out the house without her making a few corrections. Aston’s hair is always a bit scruffy,’ he said.

Jimmy also took the opportunity to gush about Nadia’s skills as doting mum saying: ‘She is a great influence but first and foremost she’s a great mother to Aston, she adores him.’
Nadia has been a pillar of strength for the Brownlow medalist, who he opened up to about the domestic violence from his father that he witnessed as a child.
‘I always knew there were issues with his dad, but it was something that Jim never spoke about in full detail,’Nadia told news.com.au in May.
‘At the end of 2015 he opened up about it, in greater detail and that’s when I fully understood the situation which helped me understand Jim’s personality and the way he acts in more depth and the reason why he is the man he is.’

Jimmy went public with his experiences in 2016, in a bid to raise awareness of the issue.
In a harrowing interview with The Herald Sun, he recalled seeing his father Terry hit his mother Dianne when Jimmy was just four years old.
‘I remember Mum being on the floor in the hallway; he had repeatedly hit her, and she was trying to crawl away from him,’ he told the publication.
‘I remember [my sister] Olivia trying to push him away from Mum, and he physically threw her against the wall, like a rag doll, which is hard to comprehend,’
