Honestly the women have it easier. I feel for my son when the dress code is formal, as that means basically 4 layers of clothing. (Tshirt, tux shirt, vest and jacket) Even indoors, that is really hot under stage lights.

But the worst offense is a bow tie. My son’s neck expands about 4 inches in diameter when he plays. This is true of many wind/brass players. So it’s very hard to accommodate a dress shirt buttoned at the top (many men leave it unbuttoned) and a bow tie.

But he doesn’t complain. He is just so happy to get good gigs and play with other great musicians.
