HBC believes that Argentine primary children wore children wore smocks in the 1950s. HBC is not sure when the smock was first adopted, but believes it was before the 1950s. Other than the smock, state schools did not require uniforms. Primary children wore what ever they want under their smocks. I am not sure about school wear trends at state secondary schools. Most private schools required uniforms. Suits were common in the 1950s, often short pants suits worn with kneesocks. Some schools had uniforms styled quite similarly to British school uniforms.
