National identity by dress code could possibly be the stereotypical suit and bowler hat, or dressing as a beefeater or a pearly king/queen! Formerly dressing in a suit (top hat and tails) was the reserve of the middle class whilst peasants and the like had shawls or an embroidered smock.
So what flip-flop has said has an element of truth, but that is more a class/social strata destinction within a culture than a national identity. Today you could not distinguish any particular nationality of someone dressed in that get up, or in a suit.

Not necessarily, we associate national identity with stereo typical imagery (often nostalgic or patriotic such as the klt and Tam O'Shanter). For example, the national dress of France for men � is it the striped blue jumper, beret and garland of onions? Lederhosen wearer? Are they German, Austrian, Bavarian, South Tyrollian or French?? Was Tommy Cooper Turkish?
