AFAIK "underwear" is identical for most of the races because it's part of the base model, what you're talking about is the "emperor's new clothes" glamor. So you won't see this purely because it would involve another base model X variants of underwear.

The starting clothes on the other hand, and some of the seasonal gear is gender/race locked because that would involve creating new models that almost nobody would use.

Off hand, the only "gender-neutral" clothing I've ever seen in any MMORPG was in Mabinogi, was the starter human dress/pants, where indeed the male players could wear the female starter skirt, and females could wear the starter pants. Only one player ever did that. And the animation wasn't tied to the clothing set... it was tied to the gear. I discovered that one of the weapon items would switch the character to using all the female animations and some crazy fun was had with that and the "fashion show" for a while before people became disinterested in it.

In the context of FFXIV, they would have to explicitly make such a thing (see Hildibrand wearing a wedding dress), but they would also need to make one for every race.
