Yugoslavia only existed for a relatively short period (1920s-80s) and there was a Royal and Communist era, both of which affected fashions. We do not yet have much information about Yugoslav garments. This is largely due to our limited archive. And also because we have tended to archive images we have found in the constiuent republics becuse they eventually became independent countries. We now beieve that we should have linked them here as well to give an idea of Yugoslav garments as a whole. A good example is a Croatian Kindergarten boy wearing a junior Eton short pants suit in 1959. The garments and styles were influenced by Austrian/German styles. In the earlky years we still see traditional garments in rural areas. We notice a lot of boys wearing suits. We notice short pants suits in the pre-World War II War Royal era. We see some sailor suits, especially in Croatia and Slovenia. We still see somesuits in the Communist era. Short pants were commonly worn through the 1950s, but then tended to be more of a casual summer gatment.
