IMMIGRANTS
- Immigrants did not have a big impact on American fashion.
- Many immigrants, especially the children, would wear American clothing because they wanted to look American and fit into the American society. They wanted to look American as quickly and as possibly as they could.
- They would get rid of their old customs and clothing trends and adapt to America's not because they were forced to but because they genuinely had an interest in American society.
- This was not true for every immigrant though. A lot older immigrants did not want to change their customs and they wanted to keep their traditions from their "old country".
