Figure 1.--We have no information on Argentine school smocks during the 1950s other than a snap shot of a group of 2nd grade boys on their way to school. I think it is a state school, but I am not sure. Notice the boys have all buttoned their collars, some wearing ties. I think those are teachers in the background also wearing smocks. |
We have no information on Argentine school smocks during the 1950s other than a snap shot of a group of boys on their way to school. I think it is a state school, but I am not sure. We think these smocks were very common throughout Argentina, but we have no written sources on this yet. The boys are wearing front buttoning white lab-coat smocks. They have jacket-like lapels. This style seems to have been worn by boys for some time.
The children of different ages all wear white smocks with different styles for boys and girls. The boys wear front-buttoning lab-coat style smocks and the girls and younger boys back-buttoning styles. The gender specific styling appears to be well established.
