 Actually, I'd try a different example that I think is more appropriate.
 Let's say my SO has excruciating fashion sense, and he has this pair
 of godawful ugly plaid pants that he happens to love and wants to
 wear all the time.  I physically wince whenever I see him in them, and
 I'm afraid that if I take him out to meet my friends, they'll think
 the pants are ugly too.

 Now, should I confront him and get him to throw the pants away?

 I suspect that given this dilemma, most men would say "Leave him
 alone!  Don't try to make him over.  If he likes them, just ignore
 them, it's not that important."
