Major fashion changes for boys and adults ocurred in the 1920s, following as it did the cataclism of World War I (1914-18). The Netherlands maintained its neutrality during the War, but was not unaffected by the hostilities ranging around it. Boys still commonly wore sailor suits, especially in the early part of the decade. Flat caps were popular as well as a style of peaked student caps. Sweaters were very popular. Many boys wore sandals.
