Now to the land of the free, America. As I’ve mentioned before, Americans tend to dress a tad bit more casually than, like, any other countries (except some European ones lol no hate though). Now nothing’s wrong with that, it’s just unique to us.
Some might describe american style as trashy, but that’s not always the case. We clean up pretty nice if the dress code is specified as “Business Casual” or formal wear. Here are a couple examples of what one may wear to work that isn’t in a casual setting.
Men’s Business Casual 
Women’s Business Casual
Now on the total opposite side of the spectrum, we have the types of outfits that Americans wear to concerts, festivals, etc. This is where the stereotypical “trashy” look comes in. This tends to include cut-off short-shorts and crop tops or even bikini tops. Or honestly just super outgoing and insane outfits cuz people like to go all out at events like coachella, or a typical Saturday in the summer. There’s nothing wrong with showing off what you got, people in other countries just think we’re kind of crazy (except the UK) but that’s fine.
Like seriously in Thailand the only people dressed worse according to the culture than us was this group of English tourists and trust me, you don’t want to know what these people were wearing to religious sites and temples and such. It was scary and uncomfortable.
Below are some classic American Country Jam and Coachella outfits, along with some basic summer classics.
So the moral of this blog post is pretty much: Americans are pretty wild when it comes to an opportunity to show off or dress up. Other countries might call it rude or trashy, we call it tradition :p

I have never been anywhere outside of the U.S and to be honest, I’ve only been to three states. This blog really gives me an insight into other countries’ cultures. I will definitely keep this blog in mind if I travel to different countries. Good post!

This is so cool! I’ve always been interested in fashion, and I always love seeing the outfits people wear to Coachella. Some day I hope to be wild and free and not give a care about the opinions others have about my outfit, because if I feel good, it shouldn’t matter what they think! Great blog! 🙂

Interesting article! I think your word choice was interesting, though, as it demonstrated all American clothing/fashion with a negative connotation (trashy) unless the clothing is business casual. I think that you could have expanded on fashion in America, though, as there are a wide variety of looks as forms of expression. I did like your addition of pictures, though, as they gave a good inside look!

I think this blog is really funny. Like to think of what we find acceptable versus what other cultures find acceptable is very different. I think that this diversity in fashion also exposes us to new cultures especially when we go on trips and such where we have to be flexible in our outfit choices to accommodate to those cultures.
