One important thing about having choice is that you don’t necessarily have to exercise it. It’s perfectly cool for a woman to say that she doesn’t give a shit about fashion and to wear an identical combination of monocolored T-shirt and jeans every single day.

Sure, she’d be unfashionable but it’s only in certain circles that being fashionable counts for anything. (And, quite frankly, in those circles you’d be looked at with derision as well because you wear the incorrect cut of jeans for this year. Men’s fashion is super constrained but does exist.)
