I think the opposite is true. For example, formal outfits for men are restricted to suits, while for women a much wider range of outfits and colors is acceptable. You can see this on group photos of politicians.

Only in some cultures. For example, in the US, in Hawaii, you will find male politicians wearing more than just suits.

Sure they can wear aloha shirts but that’s it.

I'd actually see this more as supporting my position.

Men simply wear the standard suit and forget about it, and no one rips into their fashion choices.

A woman wearing the same kind of suit will be seen as manly and be made fun of for that. The expectation is she will find something functional yet feminine, not wear it repeatedly and contrast with her female colleagues. Makeup must be enough to be nice for the camera but not so much as to look provocative.

While in a sense there are more available options we can see there is more social pressure.
