Figure 1.--This is an American wedding photograph. It is undated, but we would gues it was taken about 1930. The boys wers a blouse with a ruffled collar with a satin suit. The jacket has a tab closure. He wears short pants, white kneesocks, and black oxford shoes. |
Ring bearers in the 1930s continued to wear wore fancy elaborate suits. e are not sure hat kind of hats or caps were worn. We believe that short pants outfits became more common than above the knee knickers, but our images are still limited. White kneesocks became more common as long stockings were becoming less and less common in the 1930s. There were still a few formal weddings where a ring bearer might wear blouses trimmed with ruffles and lace. The boys might wear strap or buckle shoes. Some boys might even have their hair styled. Generally boys had short hair as long hair styles had declined significantly in popularity.
