So instead I suggest at least the popular outfits get two versions (feminine and masculine) and make both these versions available to anyone regardless of character sex. It might be unrealistic to expect something like this with every single piece of gear, but if it's just the most desired and popular outfits, I think that would be fine.

There's no denying that most men want more masculine outfits, and most women want feminine outfits. This is just the norm. However, it doesn't hurt to acknowledge people who prefer an alternative style or unisex outfits - they should get things, too.
The women blatantly sway more and have an added wink and dont have as wide of a stance. This is where the chicken or the egg comment came about with men liking masculine things and women liking feminine things, there is no inherent determining factor that says "women usually prefer this because theyre women, and men usually prefer this because theyre men". It has absolutely nothing to do with sex and everything to do with social conditioning, and to act like enforcing the rigidity (as in ffxiv making female outfits the "other" and male outfits the "default" according to item icons) doesn't add to this is wild.

Making an entire different version of the outfit for only one sex that's clearly other'ed and secondary is a lot more work than was necessary when they could have just kept the clothing the same.
