选择 vs 挑选

1. 选择 can be a verb or a noun. 挑选 is only a verb.
E.g. 明智的选择 wise choice

2. When they are both verbs, 挑选 is followed up by a tangible object or a person. 选择 can be followed by abstract nouns.
E.g.
- 在这里你可以随意挑选你喜欢的商品。Here you can choose the goods you like freely. (选择 can be used in this sentence too.)
- 你可以任意地选择你喜欢的生活方式。 r/s [phr] You may choose any lifestyle you like at will.

3. Even though in some cases, 选择 挑选 are interchangeable (see the 1st example above), there is a nuance. 挑选 emphasizes on the process of comparing different items and pick out the desired one. 选择 is more general.
