"Luxurious" and "lavish" do have that connotation of incredible expense. What an unfortunate monkey wrench in our gears!

Might alliteration save the day? "Buy and sell fine formal clothes for males" and "Buy and sell fine formal clothes for females"?

Perhaps these: respectable, refined, stately, decorous

Come to think of it, "respectable" probably works best. It's unimaginative but it's also rather self-explanatory, which is most important in any case. We should be concise with the table descriptions, as simple to memorize for readers as possible.

I like the flavor of words like "hodgepodge, mingle-mangle, mishmash, jumble, melange, medley" for Gottery's but they feel like niche words. Too colloquial, maybe? I somewhat worry about confusing the non-native English readers. "Assorted" is basic but it gets the job done. I am fond of "Buy and sell a mingle-mangle/mishmash/jumble of clothes". They sound better...to me, anyway.
