Sweaters were popular garments in the 1940s. A variety of styles were worn, pullovers with a variety of neck styles. Both sleeveless and sleeved styles were available. Some boys also wore cardigans, usually older boys in highschool. Sweaters came in a wide variety of colors and patterns as well as solid-colored flat weaves. Sweaters were useful garments and very versatile. They can be worn for dressing up, school, play, and outdoorwear in chilly weather. The only problem for boys is that they are some times taken off when it warms up and thus can be easily lost
