Brazlian Boyswear: Chronolgical Trends



Figure 1.--A photo taken in 1957 in Varginha, Brzil. Varginha is a little mining town in Minas Gerais State. It shows a Marist Teaching Brother in the town suburbs. The kids are probably miners' children. We can note the contrast between the typical French religious suit wearing by the Brother and the children's clothing. Quite a few foreign priests were active in Brazil and other Latin American countries. The Church had difficulty recruiting suffiencent local priests.

We have only limited information on Brazilian boys clothes at this time. Our archive of Brzilian images is still very limited. It looks like the styles for affluent families primarily followed Portugues and other European trends. This was mostly prevalent among relatively affuent dmilies in the majoe cities. This seems to have changed after Wold War II when American trends began to be more important. Styles by the 1960s were largely the same American-insired styles that had also become popular in Brazil.
