Figure 1.--The photo was taken on a farm near Milan in early 1970s. The clothing worn by the three children was very common at the time. They wear sleeveless shirt that were more common than t-shirts, at least among young children. This sort of flip flops were common at the time too.

Italian buys like other European boys less commoly wore suits and dressed up in the 1970s. Casual clothing was becoming part of the vstandaed pan-European style. And when suits were worn we see far fewer boys wearimng short pants suitswhich were still widely worn in the 1960s. Knee socks were also becoming less common for boys. We see more different styles of casual shorts being worn in the 1970s. The same styles worn in America and popular throughout Europe, many with an athletic or sports look. Boys still commonly wore shorts, biut now as casual clothing and especially as warm weather summer seasonal wear. We see sleeveless shirts like tank tops or even basic singlet undershirts. We are not sure what the Italian terms were. Singlets were also worn by men as anyone who has seen an italism movie knows. They were more common than t-shirts, at least among young children. Flip flops were also common. in the summer. Italian boys by the 1970s began more commonly wearing jeans, but shorts were still common. Some boys began wearing their hair longer.
