Given that the power structure of the Third Imperium is topped by the Courts and the Millitary, male clothing is very likely to be more flamboyant.

It's when the power in Europe switched from courts to bankers that frock coats and body concealing suits replaced the more form fitting and dramatic clothing of earlier times. Compare Regency fashions to the Victorians. Men had to comform to the desk jockies in the Victorian period. That's not nescessarily true of the 3I.
