Proposal

Creating several clothes:*=* and shoes:*=* subtags and marking shop=boutique, shop=fashion, clothes=* and shoes=* as deprecated.

Rationale

Clothes and shoes are very popular items sold and have many different properties, but currently it's hard to tag them precisely:

1. It's not clear how shop=clothes differs from shop=boutique and shop=fashion.

2. Both shop=clothes and shop=shoes lack more structured subtags extensions (clothes=* and shoes=* are too flat and mixing many useful properties).

Examples

Shop with clothes for small children, cotton only:

• shop=clothes + clothes:for=babies + clothes:material=cotton

Shop with elegant hats, some of them are handmade:

• shop=clothes + clothes:type=hats + clothes:style=elegant + handmade=yes

Shop with erotic underwear:

• shop=clothes + clothes:type=underwear + clothes:use=erotic

Shop with military uniforms:

• shop=clothes + clothes:type=uniforms + clothes:use=military

Shop with women's shoes:

• shop=shoes + shoes:for=women

Tagging

• clothes:for=* (women, men, children, babies...)
• clothes:use=* (sports, wedding, workwear...)
• clothes:material=* (denim, fur, cotton...)
• clothes:type=* (underwear, lingerie, socks, suits...)
• clothes:style=* (casual, elegant, skate...)
• handmade=yes/no/only

and the same for shoes:*=*.

Applies to
