I'm quite happy not to have choice ๐ .
I even just buy a subset of that, so all my pants, shirts and sweaters go together. When something is dirty, I just take the higher thing in my drawer, while my wife has to choose her clothes the day before because it takes time to find what goes with what.
I have a second, smaller subset for formal occasions, and that's all.
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.)
Of course! My statement was very personal. Men that want it should have more choice.
One thing I dislike about exercising is that I need to pick out different clothes than usual.
