Most Airbnbs that I've used aren't someone "sharing their apartment". They're dedicated Airbnb properties. It'd be interesting to see an actual breakdown.
Also, renting a space during a trip was something people were already doing. People were already paying money to stay in a strange place, like a hotel.
As far as I know, the vast majority of people don't currently rent clothing of any kind on a regular basis.
But people often have friends and family stay in their home. How often do adult women actually share clothes? I don't mean teenagers or students, I mean actual adult women.
People's comfort level is going to be lowest the more invasive a product is and clothing is probably an order of magnitude more invasive than a living space. But, as you said, maybe this becomes the next airbnb. I doubt it, but maybe.

>I've seen my wife share clothes with her best friend in the last week. (They have similar size/tastes and frequently shop together.)
If they already know each other and are friends, why would they need another entity in the trade?
Huh? People have been renting out rooms in their homes for centuries if not longer. Renting on a short-term basis is even easier to get people to do since it's easier to put up with a roommate for a week for some extra cash than to have to put up with him indefinitely.
