I greatly appreciate MoR's concise guide for levels of dress. As someone who lives in the midwest USA, I can say that there is no event I have not seen overalls worn at.

Formal levels of dress and rules that may apply are mostly non-existant here, although the all black mafia look is the most common to be attempted. This is probably what leads to my intense dislike of the all black look.

One thing most appealing to me about highland dress is all of the color and variety. Attempting to make it as drab as possible seems completely wrong.
