We do not yet have much information on the pants worn by Brazilian boys. for such a large country, our archive is extremely limited. We have almost no information in the 19th century yet. Middle- and upper-class boys generally wore European-styled pants. Brazil was a Portuguese colony. We are not sure, however, just how important Portugal was in influencing Brazilian fashions. The boys pictured on the previous page wear suits with knee pants as was common in Europe (figure 1). Knee pants seem very common (figure 1). Knickers were not widely worn. American boys at the time were wearing knickers. After World War II, American styles began to become important. Many lower-class boys until the mid-20th century wore what might be called white campesino clothes with pants often cut off some where between the calf and ankle. We note one image of a boy wearing what looks like a romper outfit. We do not see very many romper outfits, but we do see some (figure 1). .
