Really? It's not clear if you mean equivalent in the sense of showing as much skin or for wearing in similar circumstances.
But here are some things I think are equivalentish..

What do you mean by "equivalent"? That last sentence makes it sounds like you mean clothes in the same pattern but cut to fit male bodies.

Men's fashion currently has no mainstream style that shows off athleticism. Sleeveless crop-tops, with abs and shoulders on display! Shorts with flare for muscular thighs, allowing them to be shorter! Semi-sheer panels, allowing for pecs to bulge! Mesh sections in pants! What's wrong with men showing a little skin for once?

What men are you seeing? Buff shirtless men in 3” inseam shorts and a bulging groin are a staple of every American city in the summer. I see more and more mesh clothing in this heat, although I do live by west hollywood.

Not exactly the same thing, but at least where I live, going shirtless is a pretty common way for athletic men to show that off. Obviously not in the office, but it's very socially acceptable to jog, play basketball, sit on a park bench, or grill shirtless. People then build the rest of an outfit/look around that as a core component. There's a certain amount of explicit catering to that in a section of men's fashion too, judging by their model shoots.

You can sort of get there with tank tops and running shorts. But you do tend to look like you just got back from or are going to a workout.

The male equivalent of those styles can be found in the realm of gay fashion.

Nah, mate, the equivalent is found in the realm of high male fashion [0][1]. High fashion != gay.

Not really. Are you thinking this through, or just making some kind of lazy "women's clothes = gay" connection? Most revealing/sexy clothes for men are much more casual than these styles.

I will tell you my thinking, and you can decide whether to call it 'lazy'. The styles are 'revealing/sexy'. There exist clothes for men that fit that description, but they are less popular. Because they send out a message most men don't want to be sending out. (I guess most women don't either, at least not all the time.)

(That last one is a bit of a cheat because manufacturers are starting to produce rompers for men).
