Yeah. For some reason, when I was little, I hated playing dress-up. My neice (who is the same age as me), was always into fashion and looking nice. I was disgusted with her because I considered it egotistical, and it can be. Now I think of it as more of an art form.
Wearing different things like costumes or if you cross-dress might give a person more insight to their self. It is a medium of self-expression. I think one of the reasons I used to/still wear some men's clothing is because I felt/feel like women's clothing was/is oppressive. To me it's a symbol of what society expects of the female gender.
Edit: That's not to say that I'm feminist though. I don't want to be associated with the bold and radical stigma of their group. I just hate feeling controlled in any way.
Men's clothing makes me feel somewhat freer or even sophisticated. o.O
I like some women's clothing too. I prefer the classic look though, which most "pro-modern" people frown upon. For example, I like dresses with sleeves. On stupid mainstream fashion shows, everyone laughs at sleeves.
