BUT only if worn by a person whose "traditional cultural garment " they are. Connery in a kilt .. yes. Nicholas Cage in a kilt... no.

Thanks, Bat. I didn't know there were 4 kinds of kilts. I used to think it was Scottish dress mainly. You learn new things every day! Yeah, any dress looks best on people who are comfortable in that dress. So usually when worn by the people whose cultural dress they are originally. N cage with his unique facial expression will indeed look a bit comical in Kilt. For males I like Safari Suit a lot. Feologild Oakes That looks very traditional and very nice.

For men, I favour the fedora. As worn by Dick Tracy!
Warren Beatty
Warren Beatty & Madonna
On women, I like berets. I especially like what's come to be known in the fashion world as the Parisian look, a free, creative look that encourages variations and innovations in design, but always retains its core design principles.

I loved that get up of Dick Tracy. Also loved 40s Hollywood gangster style overcoat as worn by Alan Ladd. I think the French gangster movies later copied the Hollywood style gangster dresses. Alain Delon

BATouttaheckLady's shawl - The looks and design and also how ladies choose to wear them all have a great appeal. Great piece of garment and something you find across most cultures. Even if there are differences in style and colours.

That's exactly the kind of look I had in mind, that classic American tough guy look characteristic to film noir.
And the Parisian look does draw elements from a variety of traditional French dress so I figured it counted. There's actually different traditional dress worn in different regions of France. This offers a very colourful mix of styles.
"While a lot of foreigners imagine striped shirts, a knotted scarf and berets as a "traditional" French outfit, the reality is as varied as any other Western culture. Although regional clothing (like the headdress and embroidered dress of the Alsace region) is no more, fashion remains a tradition. High fashion began in 1715, when ladies from the court gathered a group of tailors and designers, and plotted out new, custom-made fashions on the spot. Voilá: couture (garments made for a specific person) was created [source: DeJean]. Charles Worth, an American émigré, created haute couture (fashion houses) in the late 1800s by staging fashion shows and sewing labels into his pieces. By the 20th century, the bustle and corset disappeared, and French women took to loose-fitting undergarments and the sleek look of art deco infiltrated French fashion. This paved the way for Coco Chanel's more austere and functional look, fitting for the period after World War I. Knockoffs became standard, and mass production began to take hold. French fashion took a signature turn into an emergent art genre called "surrealism" (a movement marked by absurdity and juxtaposition) between the wars. Designers made hats that looked like shoes and evening dresses printed with not entirely elegant giant lobsters. These bizarre (and not terribly utilitarian) looks continue in haute couture today. Lady Gaga, for one, should be grateful to the French for their foresight whenever she pulls her meat dress out of the hamper. The beret illustrates how French fashion follows culture quite closely. Originally used by the sheep herding Basques of France and Spain, it was co-opted by intellectuals who embraced the common-man aesthetic of the hat. Soon, we all had to have one."

Aj_June The images are of styles of regalia worn at cultural gatherings such as pow-wows (often dance competitions with prize money). The style of dress or man's outfit differs with the style of dance being performed.

How did we get from "traditional cultural garments" to the suits and hats Americans wore in the 40s?

Thank you. And try the 20s and the Gentry in England wore them too! Why does everyone always have to wear 'traditional' garments? The Germans should only wear lederhosen? ONLY Germans get to wear lederhosen??? And the denim jeans Rosie the riveter wore were iconic and symbolic for the entire world and especially the United States. They (and she) represented hope and unity.

I used to love the look of the dashiki. I did not know it was African. I remember young white people wearing it in the early 70s. I never got around to buying one. I sure as hell would not look good in it now. By fashion standards of today it would be gaudy as hell.
