Male coworker often notices "new" clothing, does it mean anything or am I reading into it?

[Anonymous]

As the title says, a male coworker, who I'm friendly with but wouldn't go as far to say we're close, often notices new pieces of clothing I wear. Even when others don't.
I got a new pair of shoes and he commented on them, again, no one else noticed that day. I sorted my closet and found a light coat I haven't worn in a long time, perfect for summer showers, and when I wore it he asked was it new I explained yes, technically new to others but not to me and just laughed it off. Again, no one else commented. And when I got a new pair of jeans it was the first thing new noticed which threw me off, and he said he liked them.
I have female coworkers who I'm very close friends with who have gone the whole day without noticing these things, or I'd have to say "oh, I got new jeans" and then they'd comment, so for him to repeatedly notice these things, unprompted, could it mean anything?

That depends. On its own it doesn't seem like it could be. Pay attention to whether he does that with other people (and in general if he acts differently when around you). If he's like that with everyone, then it might not mean anything. If he only does that with you, it may be indicative of something.

I notice new clothes on women I work with all the time. It doesn't mean anything except that I am observant. Don't get all wound up thinking he likes you or you will likely be disappointed.

If he does it all the time, then he is interested in you.

If your both single and you like him then why not.
