We note that the upper and middle classess were dresses similarly to comparable families in Portugal. They wear the same garments and styles. We note fancy styles like Fauntleroy suits and sailor suits at the turn of the 20th century. Many boys wore kneepants suits. We have less information on how the working class and rural poor dressed. After World War II, casual styles as in other countries becoming increasingly important.
