Guys can literally wear the booty shorts from the original island sets and gals can wear the longer shorts from the original island sets, though. If they're staying with that because it makes their players happy, then gals will be able to wear the board shorts and guys can wear the bikini bottoms. It was said in the live letter itself last night, straight from the XIV discord translation irt the treasure map glam: Y "Just like the glam we showed earlier, these are not gender locked"

Prior to that, they showed the PvP Season 3 rewards (which looks the same on anyone equipping them anyway) and before that was the likely-island sets. I have no reason to believe, especially when they said the prior island sets were not gender locked, that these will be one set but changed for everyone. If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong, but everything points to "it's not genderlocked, wear your long shorts if you want" right now.
