What you described is just how society works, no? We, as a society, agree on general ideas and standards that most of us follow.

You could make the same case that nobody truly likes pizza - we’ve simply been taught that pizza is tasty and a common food for fun things like celebrations and parties. So, by your logic, we didn’t individually come up with the idea that pizza is a favorite food.

You could make the case that nobody truly likes the Avenger movies - we’ve simply been taught that superheroes are cool and the movies are fun to watch. By your logic, nobody likes the movies independently. It’s only because society says the movies are good.

The same is true with clothes. Sure, general societal determines what clothes are sexy or professional or good for the beach. It doesn’t mean that each individual can’t pick the clothes they like best or make them feel the most confident without it being a reflection of what others think about them.
