>>Puts me in mind of the cheeky answer one of my gay friends has for the perennial "which one of you is the woman" question with the subtext of who's penetrating whom: "Neither of us. Gay men love men." <<
ZOT!

It probably does.
However, there's a business opportunity for someone to present men with this shopping experience:
"Here are my measurements, preferred colors, and work/casual requirements. I need a clothing capsule for fall/winter."
*ten minutes and a cup of coffee later*
"Here is your clothing capsule. That will be $250."
"Awesome!"
I imagine millions of men would appreciate that option. It's not that different from some current options -- there are few places selling capsules to women -- but I haven't seen anyone doing it for men. And I have observed that many men just don't want to bother with shopping. Aside from occasionally buying a statement T-shirt they see and love, most of them would rather have someone else present them with a functional set of clothes that don't suck, so they can spend their time doing something other than shopping.
