DEUT1124 Females may not dress as males. Key concept: Distance from the Holy Nation any immodest practice. As Hashem distances us from the worst and ugliest forms of immorality, He keeps us from anything that even hints of these sins, for immodesty easily can lead a person off of the correct path and onto the path of evil. This is an area that can completely change a person's thoughts from being good to being bad and foolish. Without question, if women were to wear the same clothing as men, the sexes would intermingle constantly and the world would be filled with promiscuity. Another reason for the mitzvah is to distance us from idol worship, for it was the way of idol worshippers to have women dress in men’s clothing.
