It may be simpler for the men-folk, with the tux and all, but for ease of packing and space-wise, women win, hands down. I have a black formal skirt that can be wadded into a ball, a couple pair of comfy but nice looking blue and black pants/leggings, a couple gauzy tops and some dressy cami-type tops with mix and match over blouses/scarves, all of which also travel in a wad just fine.
My husband’s polo shirts, dress shirts and slacks actually need to be folded neatly, and as autojim said, packing cubes are the way to go. Keeps things much, much neater, and easier to unload, as well.
If you don’t happen to have a jacket, or don’t want to pack one, a nice vest with a tie would probably work as well.
