A man with rather conservative core beliefs returns to Earth after extended work assignment (engineering I think, perhaps even stargate building) on allied alien planet where human casual clothing isn't allowed (it's deemed offensive to wear armor in social situations, and they would classify even bikini as armor, and see it as aggression, and perhaps that's only one of the easiest reasons in a whole tangled mess of barely comprehensible blue-orange morality, but that society had included humans even before contact was made in modern times, in great numbers, and those natives fully share that system of views).
He's old enough to remember Earth before contact and interstellar flight (extreme longevity and rejuvenation is perks of working with aliens, but now there's alien microorganisms in his bloodstream), and finds society mostly unchanged, perhaps even slightly disappointed about almost stagnant "long now" that seems to be the case.
He's very used of being nude, but tries to readjust to textile society norms, and is shocked when a young girl who's he accepted as apprentice (to share some of his unique expertise, but could as well be just mentioning or even helping with math lessons or some such mundane) refuse to wear clothes in his presence in deep respect for the alien culture she considers him being a part.
Through her, he sees the cultural change finally happening, worse, he himself and other repatriating people causing the change, in his case unwillingly and unintentionally; Earth inevitably slipping into status of yet another alien colony world. While they fuck happily ever after, of course.

Okay, this is bad case of voices in my head, and I understand that no one may make it justice, unfortunately I'm afraid myself including, especially in English. I might attempt something in my native language, but that would change context, and why I see that as waste of time plays along with the deepest connotations of this. And yes it has propaganda value and could be done into political farce, in either direction, but that's not how I see it.
If anyone dares to touch this, I'm not jealous, and know a whole lot of mostly superficial details about the background universe this happens in. Ask and you may get an answer; you're warned.
