If cross dressing were as accepted for men as wearing male clothes, a cross dresser would find something else to emulate the opposite sex. For most it is not about the taboo of cross dressing. One may find the clothes prettier, mor comfortable, whatever, but that's just a wrapping. If only women could wear burlap sacks, a cross dresser would wear burlap sacks!
I disagree. Many crossdressers do not dress like everyday women, they dress like extreme representations of femininity. Consider: many of this forum have an adversion to women's jeans and slacks. Lots of GGs love capri pants, I can't stand them! If every girl started wearing a burlap slack, you would see posts about, "Why do GGs insist on wearing such ugly clothes when they can dress in much more pretty things?"

To answer the OP, for me, it's complicated. I would like to say that I would dress to the nines every day, but I know that's not true. I'm a person that likes to dress for comfort, and I know how those oh-so-cute stilettos can hurt after a few hours. I like the way a wig frames my face, but after a while it starts to hurt, and all the hair in my face can get annoying. And I can't imagine wearing padding and body-cinchers all day. Putting on a full face of makeup every morning and having to check it throughout the day? Wow, that doesn't sound appealing. If I'm being honest, in this hypothetical utopia, my standard outfit would probably be a skirt or dress with tights unless it was very warm. I'd wear ballet flats or low thick heeled boots, depending on the weather. No wig, no padding, no earrings. Maybe a little lipstick. On special occasions, I'd dress all the way en femme. And if I was going hiking or mowing the lawn, I'd probably dress in regular boy clothes. This might be because I see myself as bigendered. If socially acceptable, I'd regularly blend my two sides, with the occasional foray into either extreme.
