We have noted Estonian boys and girls wearing folk costunes, but do not know much about it at this time. The ones we have seen seem similar to some Scandinavian and German folk costumes we have see. The boys wear 18th century black knee breaches with white stockings. This is the general pattern in European folk costumes which genrally seem to have become fixed, based on late 18th century styles. These school children in 1994, apparently graduating in the 10th grade, chose to wear folk costumes. One boy decided he preferred to wear a suit.
