As in other Europen countries, sailor suits were popular for younger boys. Romania was just emerging from Ottoman contro. This we do not see much in the way of Westrern styles until after the Russo-Turkish War (1877). the establishment of an independent Romanian state and a German monarchy meant the introduction of a range of European suits, especially the sailor suit. We see yhe Romanian pribces wearinnGerman-styled sailorv suits. The monarchy thus played a role in popularising the sailor suit wuth the urban middle class. We also do not see any destinctive Romaniabn sailor suits. And unless we can read the tally on sailor caps, there is no way to identify Romaniann sail suits. These suits were worn by the boys in urban areas. Even more than regular suits, we rarely se sailor suits in rural areas.
