Spanish School Smocks: Gender


Figure 1.--The boys and girls at this Spanish school wear the same color of striped school smock. here are, however, stylistic differences between the smocks worn by the boys and girls.

HBC is unsure if there were gender differences in the school smocks worn by Spanish children durin the early 20th century or during the inter-war period. We do note that currently there are gender differences in school smocks. We are not sure when schools began to differentiate the smocks of boys and girls, but t is now very common. Some schools for very young children do not differentiate the smocks. Usually schools for older children do differentiate smocks between boys and girls. These smocks can be differentuated with either color or style. Some schools use both colors and stylistic differences to set apart boys and girls.
