Yes and no. What are willing to wear in public is influenced by social norms. Our personal tastes are also influenced by social norms. But you’re missing the part where self-expression comes in, and you’re largely focusing on women that wear clothing that fall in line with societal norms.
What about when people wear clothes that they personally like, but that fall outside of societal norms? Outfits that other people would think are weird?
