 The subjects of the essays in this book range from looking at the ever changing means of specific garments and clothing practices of subcultural groups to examining dress as a reflection of changing life styles in American culture. The essays also examine fashions, fads, and popular images. "Dress and Popular Culture" hopes to shed new light on popular culture through a study of the associations of dress to culture. 
 
Early Americans accommodated, adapted, and manipulated their
clothing to adjust to their physical and social environment. This
book focuses on the relationship of dress to the struggle of
indigenous and immigrant Americans to fill expected and unexpected
needs and express political ideologies and ethnic identity. In
doing so the contributors hope to prompt readers to reconsider the
place of dress in the interpretation of American culture. The
casual reader of this book of essays may be surprised to learn that
it has little to do with different styles of clothing or the
vagaries of fashion.
