I'm guessing it would have been the Americans who rebelled against Harry Vardon's exhortation to all gentlemen golfers that they should continue to wear braces and a jacket as these helped maintain upper body posture through the swing - that the trouser belt was of no use whatsoever in that respect.

Not far off the truth there.
Wearing jackets was once considered advantageous in restricting unwanted movement and the move to shirts (polo or full) began in the US where the climate made wearing jackets even more uncomfortable than a British summer.
British golfers eventually realised that the greater freedom obtained when not wearing a jacket enabled a more athletic swing. (The same can't be said for jogging bottoms or hoodies though.)

People wearing black shoes with shorts look like little school boys!
(trainers are ok though)

Nice. But in the UK, suspenders mean something else. You would cause quite a stir on the first tee in your finest suspenders
That's why I doubled up and mentioned braces too.
I save the fishnets strictly for tennis should I ever take that up in my dotage.
