Many boys wore sailor suits and with the middy blouse no shirts were needed. Before World war I shirts waists were often worn with other suits and Eton or other stiff collars added. Both [ointed and rounded collars were worn. Floppy bows might also be added. By the late 1920s bous began wearing soft collared shirts worn with neckties were mpore common. An open collar style became popular on the late 20s. We also note a few boys wearing fancy blouses, but this was not common.
