Are there still clear distinctions to how different countries dress?

[elmore]

In our modern hyper connected globalised world, of the same chains in every mall the world over, are there still anywhere near the same distinctions here?

I remember in the UK in the 80s, you could tell where people were from (to a point) by the styles they wore. Mostly through football culture, but also examples like the Manchester scene, the northern scallies in their stolen continental sports gear in the early 80s, the london more moddy look. These 'looks' seemed to incubate locally for far longer before breaking out. Then when you'd go to France or the continent, people would be completely distinct in what they wore from brits.

I'd say Americans generally the belief amongst most Brits is they wear sizes one size too big for them. Russians and most Slavs dress like ****. All generalisations obviously.

I guess this still exists to a point, but doesn't seem to be remotely to the same degree as before. Another victim of globalisation. I guess it also ties in to localised music scenes too. Not sure they are remotely as strong as before the internet.
