For those who enjoy self decoration, Men's professional choices are limited, while women's are scrutinized to the last detail. A well to do person might notice the difference between 'off the rack' suits, vs tailor made, but other than that men dress like little Matrix like robots.

Too bad really. There is a certain type of young person-- a certain age-- where fashions seem to blend together, almost for a while, men don't mind jewelry and both will favor 'additude' tee shirts. Ect. Hair is much the same. I remember my youngest with dreadlocks while rating a pnk Rock musician-- also with dreads. I remember my son in a skirt, because he didn't give a shit. The two older girls followed a more conservative path, especially the oldest, but her and her husband are still pretty casual. My SIL wears suits to occasions like baptisms, it's too bad there's no other 'proper' choice in his mind
