In a business-like environment, it is more likely to find conservatively dressed men with less notable markings than women. Even though women may not only be identified based on their apparent style but also how they choose to present themselves. (i.e. Baggy clothes vs. tight clothes, make-up vs. no makeup).

The miller is not shown as badly in "The Reeve's Tale" as the others, however; his trickery against the clerk is repaid when the clerk sleeps with his wife and daughter.
