We have very limited information on garments worn by Mexican boys at this time. Wide-brimmed straw hats with white shirts and pants. The pants were often worn at calf level, but not as short pants. I am not sure just why that was.
Nor am I sure just how and when the styles developed. Boys commonly went barefoot or wore sandals were common in Mexico, both in rural areas and small towns throughout the 19th century and the early 20th century. The big wide-brimmed hats became a sterotypic characture of Mexico. The facts were, however, very widely worn. Tewo of Mexico's most proinant fidures, Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata, wore these hats. I'm not sure if there was a name for these outfits. We use the term here "camposino outfits" for want of a better term meaning traditional clothing. Girls' outfits can be very colorful, but boys mostly wore white. Typical clothing for girls and boys included a skirt, a 'huipil' (a kind of sleeve-less tunic), a 'quechquemitl' (a closed shoulder cape) and a 'rebozo' (a kind of shawl). We do not know of amy special names for boys' garments. We have an extensive site on Mexican history. There are many impages of campesino clothing.
