Swedish Boys' Garments: Blouses and Shirts



Figure 1.-- This Swedish CDV is undated, but looks like the 1890s. The collars involved are unusual. They have a sailkior influence, one with elaborate Fauntleroiy touches. The children look to ve about 5-10 years old. Notice the boys' closed cropped hair. The studio is L.H. Borgsrtröm in Trelleborg at the southrnn tip of Sweden.

We do not yet have much information on blouses aznd shirts. Swedusdh boys like most European boys wore a range of shirt-like garments in the 19th century, including blouses, shirt-waists and shirts. We see some fancy Fauntleroy blouses. While the Fauntleroy Craze was not a major phnomnonm in Sweden and Scandanvia in general, as we can see here, Seeden was not unaffectred. After the early 20th century, shirt like garments changed with blouses becoming primarily a girl's garment, although some younger boys wore them. The primary boy's garment became the shirt, at first mostly collared shirts. We see colored, chcked shirts after World War II. Collars vried somewhat at mid-century. We note Swedish boys wearing "T"-shirts in the 1950s.
