It is has been since the first man and woman that body protection and covering had been founded. If before it has been a "need" to have something on, now it's more than that...because now it also is for the "want". Clothing and dressing up evolved through time; from materials to styles.
Fashion came through and people from every corner of the globe have their own trends and craze. Not only the city folks have certain "norms of the society" to follow. Even the natives in tribes have their own to consider. It may not be ALL the same in every part of the globe, but certainly everyone has it. And we go along with it if we consider ourselves a part of that group, tribe, cluster, clan, society, norm or whatever you call the circle you are in.
In our generation, fashion is more likely being adapted in the cities all over from country to country since trends are almost carried through the wind. With the technological advancement, word travels so fast that it can be passed on in a snap. With fashion cultural differences are almost insignificant. At times, even the climate differences do not matter. May the country have four seasons or two, boots are being used. May it be snowing or just raining trench coats are being worn. People simply want to try and be part of the latest fashion.
Every activity have certain "in" things, or trendy outfits and gears. Camping shoes, summer look, hiking attire, sporty apparel...name it, you have it. And it is normally just part of living. So why not if you can afford to. One just have to be smart shopper.

Your thoughts are indeed correct. The significant differences are in that within Tribal people...they use colors, beads and body painting as a form of meaning and tradition. People of today use fashion as a form of being accepted or following what someone else deems as the IN style. The real meaning has been lost to the manufacturers and profiteers of the world.
Just another sign of how easily man has chosen to give up real tradition and real meaning of life~
