Hungarian School Smocks: Sleeves


Figure 1.--These children wear short or sleeveless smocks. Notice the different styles amd colors. This appears to be a style only worn in primary schools. This school accepted different styles and colors of smocks.

Most Hungarian school smocks appear to be long sleeved garments. HBC has noted in the late 1990s that short sleeved or sleevless styles appeared. These appear to be apron-like (or gardener-like) smocks for both girls and boys. They perhaps were introduced because some styles are buttonless and thus can not be unbuttoned. Some school authorities apparently thought it was not a good image for children to wear their smocks unbuttoned. Butonless smocks did away with this problem. They appear to have been made in different styles. There were collarless "V" necks as well as well as short sleeved front buttoning smocks. The buttonless apron-style smock appears to have been a style used more in primary than in secondary schools.
