can you please used this:

   $gender = array('men','women');
   $productlist = array('shirt'=>'shirt_url.php','t-shirt'=>'t-shirt_url.php','polo shirt'=>'polo_shirt.php');

  foreach($gender as $individual) {
        echo "<h2>{$individual}</h2>";
        echo "<ul>";
        foreach($productlist as $product_key=>$product_url) {
          ?>
                 <li><a href="<?php echo $product_url; ?>"><?php echo $product_key; ?></a></li>
        <?php
    }
echo "</ul>";
  }

You should have an array 

$a=array('shirt','t-shirt','polo shirt','formal shoes','sport shoes','suit','underwear','socks','pants');

and use it like this: 

<ul>
<h1>MEN</h1>
<?php foreach($a as $val) :?>
<li><a href="ProductsList.php"><?php echo $val; ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach ;?>
</ul>

<ul>
<h1>womaen</h1>
<?php foreach($a as $val) :?>
<li><a href="ProductsList.php"><?php echo $val; ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach ;?>
</ul>
