Well this isn't 100% correct. Some men do wear tight clothing, but I agree that it’s more common for women to do so. Although I would also say, women are currently moving to looser fit clothing right now.
But as to why men don’t often wear tight clothing has a lot to do with the role of equality over the last several decades. The switch of women moving from the dress and skirt to pants and the new cultural norms that came from that.
When women started wearing pants, it was a culture shock. Society reacted badly at first, saying that they were being unfeminine and all that Jazz. Women pushed back and established pants as part of their wardrobe. But society tends to be funny that way. If men and women wear the same articles of clothing, it still wants to differentiate between the sexes. How did that develop?
It developed by designating fitted as feminine and looser as masculine. Particularly on bottoms. Why did society and women prefer it this way? Because it allowed women to still designate a female style, even though she was wearing pants.
What this means is, pants tend to be cut tighter and are more fitted for women. That allowed them to show off their curves and to claim a feminine style in pants. The effect on men is it pushes them to wear less fitted bottoms to denote a masculine style.
The problem with this system is it traps men into very few choices. If it’s considered feminine to be able to show off your legs, that means men have to keep their legs hidden. But women don’t have the same social restriction. They go loose or fitted and there is no gender affiliation assigned to it.
