Does The United States have a traditional attire?

Germany has the dirndl, China has the hanfu, India has the sari and other attire, but what does the USA have? When I search it up I see cowboy, but thats mainly in the south, while the trend of cowboy boots might be expanding, cowboy attire isn’t really every Americans version of traditional clothing. Is the US just not old enough to have developed one? We have jeans but those have become worldwide so can that even be considered our traditional dress? Typically these countries have festivals to celebrate their heritage, where they wear their traditional clothing. If our clothing is cowboy attire then those festivals may be rodeos, but that is not true to a large portion of America. The only other closest thing I can think of is jeans and a T-shirt on the fourth of July. As well as period clothing from the founding of the country, but no one wears that. There aren’t physical stores to buy it at or rent for a particular festival like other countries have for theirs. Does anyone know?
