We note younger boys in the early-50s wearing blouses with Peter Pan collars. We see noth suspender anf H-bar pants. bth Hbarand strap pants. Younger boys wore short pants. We also see knitwear. We still see some sailor suits. Girls wore prim dresses. We notice knickers persisting in Sweden longer than in many other European countries, although by the 1950s but they were often worn almost to the ankles. Boys might wear short pants during the briref summer season, but this had declined uring the winter, by the end of the decade. The same is true of long stockings. Many children had snowsuits for the winter which can be very cold in Sweden. A French reader writes, "I remember a visit to Sweden when I was about 14 years old in June 1958. We stayed at a nice hotel in Stockhom. I remember noticing that the children were dressed rather the same as adults. The boys mostly wore long pants which was still not the case in France at the time."
