The gendered language is circular because of the gendered nature of our cultural ethos: "femininity" and "masculinity" point to certain adjectives, like the ones you listed (tougher, softer). Although we can think of certain ways of describing clothing as non-gendered, is such a thing really possible? I think you raise a good point.

While it may seem limiting and perhaps stereotypical to label clothing as masculine or feminine, having the labels as an accepted foundation is what allows for the unexpected surprise that arises from seeing a woman wearing a tie with a button-down and a skirt. The clothing is exciting because it defies conventional "gender" rules.
