German Sailor Suit Styling (1920s)


Figure 1.--These Dresden brothers had their portrait taken in 1927 wearing traditional sailor suits. Notice the traditional styling. I think their name is written at the bottom, but I can't make it out.

One noteable change in the 1920s was that the great variety of styles noted before the War generally disappeared. Both the collar cut and styling became very sandardized. Increasingly we see the traditional style (meaning suits styled like actual uniforms) being worn by boys. We note both the raditional white and dark suits. The typical middy blouse was done wih the three stripe detailing common with traditinal suits.We no longer see sailor suits being done in a range of different styles and variations. Virtually all middy blouses were done with traditional styling. We note a few more formal suits that were styled differentl,y but they were not very common.
