There is a continuum with shop=clothes, shop=fashion, and into
shop=boutique. As far as I know there is no clear definition
currently. But there also isn't a clear distinction in the real world.
shop=clothes is by far the more widely used one:
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/?key=shop&value=clothes 230
thousand uses, https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/?key=shop&value=fashion
7 thousand, https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/?key=shop&value=boutique
15 thousand.
My interpretation has been that shop=boutique is significantly more
expensive than shop=clothes. To be honest I wouldn't use shop=fashion
unless neither "clothes" nor "boutique" fit very well for whatever
reason.
