What could be considered the "traditional costume" of your country, and do people still wear it? (lemm.ee)

What baffles me is that despite that, whenever there was an international food festival at my school, the US booth operators dressed like Uncle Sam instead.

Yup, a well-recogized character that by no means dresses traditionally. Granted, depending on the era you went to school, dressing as cowboys or native anericans could be seen (wrongly) as racist, so if it was within the past 10 years I wouldn't blame them going with the safer option, socially.
