Dress Casual: How College Students Redefined American Style - Gender and American Culture
Deirdre Clemente
As Deirdre Clemente shows in this history of fashion on American college campuses, whether it's jeans and sneakers or khakis with a polo shirt, chances are college kids made it cool. The modern casual American wardrobe, Clemente argues, was born in the classrooms, dormitories, fraternity and sorority houses of universities and colleges across the country. As young people gained increasing social and cultural clout, their tastes transformed mainstream fashion from collared and corseted to comfortable.
