Well, women's clothes is still 2X men's clothes. Men still buy clothes. And men are not cost sensitive - women will shop for bargains, while men will just buy whatever they think they need. I'd imagine women spend 7X as much time shopping for clothes, easily. That's why they need 7X the space. But they don't buy that much more, they just look at stuff, try it on, ask questions, drag their SO along (who takes up more space) ... Men just walk in, see if it fits, pay up and get out. You just need a big rack of jeans / suits / t-shirts sorted by color and size, a change room, and someone to take their money on the way out.

I've had to encourage my gf to buy designer clothes. The conversation basically went like "why don't you buy one really nice dress that you actually like instead of 7 that you don't wear." Same with shoes, there's no point in buying crappy ugly shoes that wear out when you can spend 5x the price and get good looking shoes with a lifetime warranty. That said I find it really hard to find a shirt with French cuffs so im probably a bit of an outlier, but I figure if I'm going to get dressed why not look good at the same time? Note: I also find a lot of designer fashion in thrift stores because it's one of the few things that lasts long enough to make it through.
