I just read an interesting answer to your question today; I find I really agree to the below: 'The greater variety of clothing worn by women has been attributed to the fact that men are deemed admirable if they project a stable self-image, whereas women are judged attractive if they are skilful exponents of a multiple self. [...] These possibilities [of female dress] may range from sobriety to self-mockery. Most feminists would infer from this that a sexist advertising cons women into consuming far more products than men, and worse still, into presenting themselves as less serious participants in social situation. Future commentators may judge otherwise and conclude that the dreary predictability of male clothing for most of the 20th century [...] was merely the vestige of a prim Victorianism which had long disappeared in personal behaviour and social practice.' D. Kiberd, Men and Feminism in Modern Literature (Macmillan, 1985) p. 222.
