Figure 1.--Here we see a Spanish First Communion suit in 2005. One boys wears what looks to be a blazer with khaki short pants. Note the cuffs on the shorts. He wears ankle socks rather than knee socks. Notice that he does not have a sleeve-bow, but does wear a crucifix. The other boy wears a white sailor suit in the enlisted man's style.

We do not yet have a great deal of information about Spanish First Communions in the 21st century, but we have a few images. We notice boys wearing sailor suits, suits, and blazers. Most boys wear long pants, but some boys wear short pants outfits as well. Short pants suits were no longer so common so boys might wear a blazer with short pants bough separately. Kneesocks were also not as common as in the 20th century. The sailor suits all seem to be long pants suits. We note both the traditionl enlisted uniforms as well as the admiral suits that we have also noted in France.We are not sure about the relative importance of these outfits. Girls still wear white dresses, but they do not seems as fancy as earlier.

The 2000s

We notice Spanish boys wearing a variety of First Communion outfits in the 200s. The outfits include sailor suits, cassocks, suits, and blazers. Suits were most common, but we see blazers with different colored pants. Most boys wear long pants, but some boys wear short pants outfits as well. The short pants are seen as more traditional. They are worn with both ankle socks and knee socks. Short pants suits were no longer so common so boys might wear a blazer with short pants bough separately. Knee socks were also not as common as in the 20th century. The knee socks in particular are not very common for boys and are rarely seen except for formal events like First Communion or weddings. The sailor suits all seem to be long pants suits. We note both the traditionl enlisted uniforms as well as the admiral suits that we have also noted in France. We are not sure about the relative importance of these outfits. We do not see sleve bowsthat were common in the 20th century, but many boys has crucifixes. Girls still wear white dresses, but they do not seems as fancy as earlier.
