Yes, this. That’s why the clothing in op shops are frequently classic, dated styles. Sometimes you get more modern things (maybe a young adult moved out and the parents cleared their old room) but anytime I walk into an open shop, it has ‘estate sale’ vibes.
Another thing i notice is that all of the clothes in my local OP shops are pretty dated, but the women’s section is always ten times larger (or more!) The same is true for places that sell modern, returned goods, too: Women’s clothing gets returned/exchanged at far higher rates than men’s.
