Several different garments were involved in sailor suits. Several different garments were popular. Headwear does not seem very common, but the boys often have wear them for formal portrait. By the 1920s this meant sailor caps. Boys dis not, however, alwatswear sailir-stylerd headwear with theior sailor suits. Quite an number oif boys instead wore school caps. We no longer see sailor hats toany extent. Most boys wear basic pull-over middy blouses, usually with tightly tied scarves. We no longer see the button-up blouses that were common before the War. The boys mostly wore short pants or knee pants. There was no expressely sailor hosiery, bur we see both socks and long stockings. The main factor being seasonality, but there were variations from family to family. Boys wore both shoes and sandals with sailor suits, but shoes seem more common for school wear.
