The Netherland by the 1970s had become one of the most prosperous countries in the world. The country's prosperoty was shared by every segment of the population. Families had the disposable income to afford extensive wardrobes for their children. This meant extensive wardrobes of casual clothes rather tahn the formal clothes boys once role. Dutch boys by the 1970s were adopting the pan-European styles of jeans, "T"-shirts, and other casual styles. Boys were less commonly wearing short pants suits, but short pants were still common--although increasingly being worn seasonally. Rather short pants became popular in the 1970s. Dutch styles at the time were very similar to German styles. In the mid-1980s, gym-type boxer shorts were very popular. Older boys up to about 16 wore them--sometimes even in school. This ended about 1986 with the shiny athletic shorts.
