Dutch Boys' Garments: Casual Short Pants


Figure 1.--Here we see a Dutch boy in 1978 with the T-shirts and casual shorts that had becime standard summer wear.

We see children with much more extensive wardrobes in the prosperous times that followed World War II. Children tended to more commonly have casual and play clothes. And casual clothes became more common tgo wear. Casual short pants became increasingly popular in the 1960s. And we see very short cut shorts beginning in the 1960s. They were many different types of casual shorts including denim shorts and by the 1970s shorts made in a range of sports styles. Short pants became increasingly seen as a casual, summer style rather than a dedicated all-year style for boys.
