I pick out my 7 year old son's clothes too. He could truly care less what he wears and prefers it that way. He has a couple favorite t-shirts (wild and crazy), but doesn't bat an eye if something else comes out. I'm sure my DH wouldn't mind if I'd pick out his clothes too (not happening).

However my 3.5 year old daughter is OCD about what she is going to wear every day. We absolutely must come a consensus about her outfit the night before or it would be a big sobbing fashion fest every morning.
