Pantalettes: Boys Clothing--Tunics



Figure 1.--.

Tunics were also worn through much of the 19th century. At mid-century, pantalettes were worn by younger boys with tunics. When the boy grew older he might continue wearing a tunic, but with knicker style pants replacing the pantalettes. Infornmation on tunics in the early 19th century is not available, but clearly tunics were being worn at mid-century. They appear less common in the 1870s and 80s. Tunics reappeared at the turn of the 20th century, but by that time they were no longer worn with pantalettes
