Sifrei Devarim 226

¹(Devarim 22:5) "A man's vestment shall not be upon a woman": What does Scripture come to teach us? If that she should not wear colored clothing, is it not written ( Ibid .) "for the abomination , etc."? And this is not an abomination. It means, rather, that a woman should not wear what a man wears and go among the men (for licentious purposes), and a man should not wear colored clothing and go among the women. ²R. Eliezer b. Yaakov says: Whence is it derived that a woman may not go out with armor to war? From "A man's vestment shall not be upon a woman." And whence is it derived that a man may not adorn himself with the adornments of women? From ( Ibid .) "and a man shall not wear a woman's garment." For the abomination of the L-rd your G-d are all who do these" ³"It goes by five epithets: " cherem " (banned), " toevah " (abomination), " sanui (detested), " meshukatz " (revolting), " avel " (wrong).
