So, I made a a quick function to count my SC5 equipment database (because who on earth would count them manually, that's just.... ew)..
INCLUDING ALL DLC, SC5 had:
1390 equipment items (this includes all 1P/2P FULL Costumes, faces, unique body images, etc.)
1259 equipable items (hair, clothing, etc.)
907 of that is unique in that it's not used (at least by the same name) on the opposite gender
Males had a total of 675 items (46.5% of the total).
Females had a total of 714 items. (53.5% of the total).
Just so everyone knows.
