I'm not sure how this will sound, but based on everything you've said it somewhat feels like you are missing the point, somewhat. People aren't upset that female only gear exists, they are upset that their aren't an equal/equivalent amount of male specific gear, and that gear designed to be the "male" version are being made unisex. And while you are correct in stating that the inspiration for a lot of the glamour gear comes from real life, remember that in real life we aren't limited like we are in the game; we arent "told" we can't wear a shirt because it's female only. Remember, there are plenty of males fashions all over the world that some cultures might view as "feminine", like how Scotland has kilts.

And on a side note you mentioned that male most male fashion is a copy/paste affair, in this or other words, but I don't think people would mind a few "copy/paste" outfits as long as they were male specific, and slightly different drom one another, like maybe a hoodie? Or a bandage outfit; which reminds me of a mummy, lol.

I have a theory for why there's an alarming imbalance of Female to Male gender-locked glamour sets, here's that theory:





I regret nothiiiiiiiiiiing!




...And it happens basically every new glamour patch....

sailor uniform + japan = girl clothes
Be happy that it is not female only ^^

Why would anyone be happy that's it not female only when it was originally (planned to be?) male only? That makes no sense, there was no possibility they'd remove it from males.

You DO realize that the outfit in the game is based on an actual sailor suit, not a bastardized version of it apparently appropriated into Japanese school uniforms.

Think Donald Duck with pants, not Moe Schoolgirl anime. For the Former is closer to the game's version than the latter

TBH, the Spring Dress set would have been perfect to combine with a 19th (or early 20th) century frock coat as the male-only option...

It seems that many others have echoed what I would have said in response (Particularly Serilda, thank you), so I shall agree with them instead of simply writing down everything as it would be the same thing, except in my own words.

That said:

You know though, it'd end up being an unfair numbers advantage in the end with 100% unisex options.

This makes absolutely no sense. If its 100% unisex, there is not unfair numbers as EVERYONE has access to everything. They could make it so that the Ti Leaf Lei has a top for females, much like swimsuits do. It would still be distinct in that it has the necklace part, making it a unique item compared to a pure swimsuit top.

Again, what is good looking is subjective. That is not what we're talking about here. People will complain about their perceived quality regardless of numbers, that will always be there. This gear is a recolor of previous dungeon gear. That gear looks terrible on this race or class. That is a subject for another thread, not this one.

...you mean like this?


That already exists. Coronal Summer Halter. It's the female-only equivalent of the Ti Leaf Lei.

Female-only and Male-only are fair if there are equivalents. It's when there are no equivalents that you run into problems.
