The rompers worn by Belgian boys were made in several different styles. The different styles common in France were also worn in Belgium. We do not know of any destinctive Belgian styles. We are not yet sure about the relative popularity of the different styles. The primary styles were one piece romper suits and suspender romper pants. The one-piece romper suits had top that were very similar to mock tops. The suspender romper pants worn with fancy blouses for formal wear or various shirts for casual wear. We have noted photographs of both the one-piece suits and suspender rompers. Belgian boys may have wore other styles of rompers, but we do not yet have actual information to confirm this.
