Belgian Boys Clothes: 1950s Familiy--Sweaters


Figure 1.-- The next youngest boy wore a short pants saior suit. He had a matching cap, althuogh he is not wearing it in the group photograph here (figure 1). Sailor suits were a popular boys style in France, but by the 1950s had gone out of style and was only being worn by younger boys and even then not very commonly. His little brother is at the right, click on the image for a page on him.

The boys had a variety of sweaters including both jacket and cardigan styles. The family seems to have spent a good bit of time at the beach, including cool weather dys as the boys are seen wearing wool sweaters at the beach. This portrait certainly shows how close the two younger boys were. The boys were apparently wearing stripped "T"-shirts under their sweaters. The younger boy has some sort of logo on hi sweater, but i can't quite make it out.
