If there's a second-hand section, this sounds like heaven and I want to work and live there.
(I don't buy new clothes with the exception of underwear and socks, I'm poor, full of eco-anxiety about the fashion industry, and I find thrift store employees to be less judgmental and/or have less fucks to give than retail clothing staff)
Aren't dressing rooms in most clothing stores gender neutral anyway?
I'd guess it depends on where you live
Out of the Closet in Seattle is a thrift store that checks several of these boxes
It's a chain, there are a few around the bay area and I think they started in LA.
I've been thinking for a while that it would've been really cool if there were clothing stores where there were no defined "Men" and "Women sections", as sort of a way to defy the gender binary. And if someone tried to ask the store's staff "Is this for men or for women?" they would respond something like "I dunno, it's probably unisex, you use it if you want to".
How about we just ditch the current sizing model as a whole and use strictly measurements, too.
Yeah, although stores would probably need to have measuring tape lying around so that customers could adapt to the measurement scale change.
Way back when, a fellow perv and I imagined a clothier called Benders which would have not only gender-specific garments in non-specific sizes and colors but also kid clothes in adult sizes. This was before the alphabet revolution of the late 2010 - early 2020s when we'd look to create enby styles.
Every once in a while we'd encounter a line of clothes that seemed to push gender-crossing / obfuscating envelopes. But no ongoing lines of couture yet.
This is pretty much Dangerfield in Australia, but without packers and handouts etc. It's amazing.

Best holiday destination, second only to Waterboarding at Guantanamo Bay!
If you rob the delivery truck you can check all those boxes
This is a beautiful idea
