The American National Costume

Boston Daughter is spending fall semester at the University of Exeter, England.  One of the mailings suggested that international students bring along their 'national costume'. That seems to be one thing we lack here in the U.S., although it is fun to speculate what an American national costume might look like.  Here is what most of the world probably sees:

American National Costume - Female:

Capri length pants (alternative: mom jeans.  If this option is selected the accompanying tee-shirt must be tucked in)

Tee or sweatshirt with flower appliques (alternate shirt design: puppies, kittens, grandchildren, or a large American flag)

White socks (preferably short in length - especially if choosing the capri option -  leg must be visible between the top of the sock and the bottom of the pant)

Blindingly white Reebok sneakers

Visor (either hard plastic or fabric)

Fanny pack

Optional: oversized canvas tote for all the things accompanying male doesn't want to carry

American National Costume - Male

Shorts

Tee or sweatshirt with jingoistic or offensive slogan or large American flag (alternative: polo shirt with golf club, college or corporate logo)

Knee length socks (can be white, brown or black)

Blindingly white Reeboks (alternative: sandals...alternative 2: brown or black lace-up shoes)

Fanny pack

Camera (must be large and worn around neck)

Baseball style cap with, preferably, American sports team or military logo (alternative: golf club, college or corporate logo)

If traveling in a foreign country it is advisable that both the male and female costumes include a vinyl or canvas passport case worn on a lanyard like a necklace. 

Those are my ideas.  Anyone else?
