I think women don't fully appreciate the uniformity of men's clothes. Her plan is still more variable than most male dress codes like (dress shirt, slacks, leather shoes) or (T-shirt, jeans, sneakers). But I agree that too much choice causes stress. It must be a nice feeling to limit your possibilities and go from a 15-minute decision tree to a nearly instantaneous choice.

This may be just speaking from my own experience, but I think a lot of women do appreciate the uniformity in men's clothing. And frankly, are jealous as hell. Its much more difficult, IMO, to be a woman and dress simply and look consistently "nice" than it is for a man, who can throw on pants and a polo/dress shirt and look classy.

Ever notice how when a female politician wears an outfit a second time, it results in a great deal of criticism from tabloid media? I male politician could wear the same suit every day, varying the tie (or even keeping that the same) and no one would notice. I always thought that was an insane demand.

Men don't appreciate the uniformity of male bodies. (basically: skinny, average, athletic (bigger chest), portly (bigger gut) ) For women, there are many more variables, and each vendor cuts clothing differently. A guy with Timoni's tastes following this strategy would just buy a hoodie, shirts and pants from the Gap. Done. For a girl, having had a kid might mean that Gap skirt doesn't fit anymore. Or the shirt is meant for a bigger/smaller bust, etc.

We appreciate the uniformity of men's clothes sizes, too. One of the reasons women have to think about clothing and shop for clothing a lot more than men do is that we can't just look at the jeans in our closet, note the size, and walk out of any store with a pair of jeans labelled with that size and expect that they will be wearable. Women's sizes on labels have very little to do with the size of the clothes, even clothes from the same brand/store. Fashions come and go more in women's clothing, too. My go-to dressup item is a navy blue blazer which is a standard that should be available all the time, right? No, some years standard blazers are out of style and cannot be found. That's why all the work put in by the OP to find simple, classic styles is mysterious to many men. They can find simple, classic clothes that fit pretty much anywhere. That's a lifehack that's MUCH more difficult for a woman to achieve.

  As I guy, I've had a similar experience with most clothing. I always have to actually try anything, can't go by labelled size alone. Of course, this probably varies with location.
