While men who dress badly would either be called eccentric, or just be accepted as a bad dresser, because it doesn't matter what men look like.
So someone who's reached their autumn years as a man, they'd be less likely to get real-like feedback as to when they look bad, leaving them with less self-awareness. And this is apparently a bigger problem when that person is presenting as a woman.
