How do Caucasians dress? Asians? African Americans? Hispanics?

I am doing a little study on stereotypes, trends, and biases in regards to how people dress by race.

I want to know if people think that a certain race/ethnicity tends to dress in a certain way.

How do you think most Caucasians dress? Asians? African Americans? Hispanics? (Example outfits, brands, styles)

What do you think when an individual of a certain ethnicity crosses over trends and dresses like another ethnicity? Does it seem different or out of place to you?

Or, do you think that every individual has his or her own tastes and there is no trends or patterns in how certain ethnicities dress?

    I think:

    Caucasians : They're style is very influential, and they were hollister,wet seal, and alot of brands because caucasians have stereotypes within them too? but generally when i think of a caucasian, I think of a blonde haired girl.

    Asians: Black hair, fair skin with small eyes. I'm being completely honest. I'm Asian. However, SOUTH EAST ASIANS. : short, dark skin, big brown eyes.

    African Americans: Hip hop style, gangster xD and afros

    Nope. its 2009, and everyone seems to cross over. It seems indifferent to me.

    YES i think that every individual has his or her own tastes and there is no trends or patterns in how certain ethnicities dress.

    White men who are older wear banana republic, and younger hollister abercrombie etc. The women wear the gap,and ish like that.

    Black people: Well most young black men dress in a hip-hop style, and the women wear baby phat, and rocawear. (these are stereotypes of course)

    The others I've never cared to observe

    Caucasians and Asians dress more a like,and African Americans and Hispanics dress more a like, in most cases.

    But from the celebrity influences like usher and kenye west, I've seen a lot more black starting to mix and match their styles with Caucasians styles and urban black styles.

    i dont think race has an impact on style but more so where u live

    Nowadays most people dress alike, however some people keep their own style.

    Where I live there isn't much difference in how different races dress. At least not in normal day to day life.

    Maybe they do when they do religious or ceremonial things though.

    to be honest I see no difference.

    It is to the individual to dress the way the want to.

    But your last sentence said it all.

    Good Luck!
