By all means map clothes shops with extra detail, although no-one does 
it like that.  "shop=clothes" has 180k examples, "clothes:for" 1 and 
"clothes:rental" 1.  "clothes:type", "clothes:repair", "shoes:sales" and 
even "shoes:sells" all get "nul points" from the taginfo jury.  
"clothes" as a subtag is however widely used:
