We see a range of sailor styles in the early-20th century. By this we mean the style of the top. There were different types of pants, but almost all of the styling was done on the top We note variouly styled separate sailor blouses as well as a range of sailor suits. We see some of the styles worn in the late-19th century. There were not as many different styles of sailor suits as in the late-19th century. At that time catalogs had whole apges, sometimes two or more pages, with different styles of sailor suits. There were differences in the detailing and fabric. Selections in the early-20th century was much more limited. Even so, the sailor suit was still a popular style for boys. And of course many girls wore sailor-styled dresses. We also notice some new styles. Th most impprtant was sailor styled tunics. At the turn of the century a new style appeared for younger boys, the tunic or blouse suit suit. These suits came in many styles, but the sailor style was one of the most popular. The classic suits with sailor blouses blouses and pants (long pants and knee pants) were also available. Detailing varied a good dea, but the style had become very standard.
