Answer

You need to say "boys" and "girls" plural, since the clothes are meant for boys and girls in general, not a specific boy or girl.

As far as I can tell, all 4 of these structures are used and accepted:
"Are there clothes for both boys and girls?"
"Are there clothes both for boys and girls?"
"Are there clothes both for boys and for girls?"
"Are there clothes for boys as well as girls?"

Of these four, the first one sounds the best to me.
