Assuming one always wears trousers and shoes and no more than one of anything at a time I figure thats 97860 possibilities...but of course, probably more than half of those would be so hideous that they wouldn't even be tried on anyway

And I would have to say that men leave their clothes all over the floor instead of putting them in the hamper/clothes basket either (a) because they're lazy and don't see the point in putting clothes in the hamper only to take them back out to wash them or (b) some underlying desire to have someone pick up after them and take care of them.
