We only see a little of the boys' suits here, just the top of their jckets. The jackets looks to be a solid color with very large lapels. Another portrait shows the boys wearing identical suits looking very much like a school uniform. The jackets seem to be black and the trousers look to be grey. Another ortrait of the boys taken together shows them wearing the exact same outfit, this ime with a floer in their lapel. Boys wearing the same suits at this age does give the impresion of a school uniform.
