The entire Thavnairian Bustier set has had a plethora of fan art with reasonable adjustments to make it suit a more masculine aesthetic and it works pretty well.

    Pieces like the Kirimu Coat, when viewed first on a male character, obviously needed some modifications to make them wearable by female characters without wardrobe malfunctions taking place, and pieces like the Evenstar top/stockings were adjusted to fit the team's vision of how male attire should work. That's acceptable, and much better than gender locking pieces without giving the other side something in return. There are a lot of items which have been adjusted to suit the opposite sex better before this recent trend of locking everything away without considering balance.
    To be honest, the male outfits that are unisex are hardly modified much. The main difference is usually chest covering on the more bare chested sets. Your not really asking for males to wear the female sets but a whole set of new models for the males.

    Plus there are still gender locked gear that is male only. I know cause Id love a female version of a few of my character. There are very few sleeveless tops that aren't bikinis for female characters.

    We know this though.

    What people are asking for is for Square-Enix to stop blatantly favoring females when it comes to gender specific glamour gear.

    If you compared the amount of female only to male only gear, you'll realize there's a huge discrepancy between the two.
