You don't want to use cultural relativism as your measuring stick because if you do it is going to hit you in your UPC fanny when it comes to women wearing pants.
It is virtually universally accepted in the USA that pants are both men and women's apparel with women's pants having a different cut than a man's.
With as much difference between men and women's pants as there is between men's shirts and women's blouses.
Therefore a woman wearing pants is not wearing "men's apparel".
(I would add that if all pants on women are "men's apparel" then why don't you wear women's pant suits? You don't because they look and are different from men's apparel)
