Genderlocked gear. Again.

Sometimes the clothing for male characters seems to be a downgraded version of the clothing for female characters

That's what I feel about male clothing most of the time. They really need to hire someone who has fun in creating male clothing.
It's obvisous that the current artist is specialized in female fashion.

A lot of the male Nier clothes look really good. But let's be honest. Also the male Nier clothes are less interesting than the female counterparts.
This long dress is much more interesting than the long coat for the males for example.
The coat misses interesting details. It looks kinda blank. I mean...., it's okay to make a coat as the counterpart for the dress.
But why is it so blank? Why has the coat a differenet style than the dress?

If a male-female couple stands next to each other the elegant evening dress and the military coat don't match well.
This should not be the case with the 'same' piece of gear.
