Why did formal male fashion just become suits and really nothing else?

For like 200 years.
>Black, grey, brown suit
>White shirt.
>Tie.

The major difference is these days people sometimes don't wear a tie, people don't wear wastecoats and only neckbeards wear fedoras.

In the same time, formal female fashion has changed radically and now even females can wear suits along with all sorts of dresses and clothing items that come in all shapes and sizes.

Don't worry OP, Jaden Smith's gonna change all that.

Here he is at the wedding of Kanye and Kim, probably the classiest most formal event of the millenium. That's Jaden on the far right.

On this question:

Male fashion has to project power and professionalism, female fashion is designed for sex appeal for men so women can basically wear anything that is "sexy" and "elegant", also women are allowed to "dress up" to the better sex which is why they can wear pants, while men can't "lower themselves" to the weaker sex so that's why we can't wear dresses, togas etc.

As someone who lives in a warm climate I think we really fucked up when we abandoned the classical robe. Apparently the Toga was actually mighty uncomfortable in its time but more practical wear like the Pallium slowly phased it out outside of very formal events.

Basically the perfect garment. Adjustable and breathable as well as elegant. Doesn't have to be immaculately tailored to look half-decent and no restricting and suffocating waistbands, ties, neck collars, etc.

Man our school uniforms were suits (private school).

If you shirt was untucked you got afternoon detention. The back of my shirt often became untucked, so I got at least one afternoon detention every week.
