There is a simpler answer to the cost of women's clothes: vanity. Women compete to be attractive and fashionable; they need to package themselves so men will desire them and other women will envy them. Women's fashions change with the seasons, and each year produces the new colors, skirt lengths, body-flattering cuts. Women's clothes cost more because marketing them costs more, with fashion models, fancier ads, the not-so-subtle pressure to keep up. And women fall for these enticements by habit and tradition.
Once upon a time there were even "sumptuary laws" that forbade the lower classes to dress as fancy as the aristocracy. Those notions are hard to eradicate from a culture as women aim to "dress up". Schools and offices have "dress codes". And all those cultural trends are supported ultimately by the clothing manufacturers. It's a self-reinforcing cycle. If you resist getting trapped in it, you may hurt the economy. And we have not yet mentioned the cosmetics industry.
