American National Dress

[Larry124]

Rather than resurrect an old thread may I stir something up with a new one?

My observations:

Dress (male): The off-the-rack or ready to wear Business Suit and its accessories.

But for the most part, USA National Dress is (very) casual rather than dress, formal, or ceremonial.

Chinos (Khakis, Dockers, etc.)
Denim. Anything and everything
The T-shirt
The Polo or Golf shirt.
The flannel shirt.

But IMHO beginning to outnumber all of the above is…

Cargo!
Below the (omitted) belt, in about a half dozen lengths from Crocodile Hunter short-shorts to full length trousers.
For boys and girls and for men and women and for all seasons.
And for all occasions (almost?) short of House of Worship (Sunday, Wedding, Funeral, etc.).
And maybe not for (infrequent) formal dining.
Although I would not bet on those conventions holding.

Should I include shirts with flap pockets on the front and a flapped cell phone pocket on the arm?
