We do not yet have much information on Swedish boys' tops (blouses and shirts). Swedish boys like most European boys wore a range of shirt-like garments in the 19th century, including blouses, shirt-waists and shirts. Blouses were very common. We do not know a lot about the early-19th century, but that was certainly the case in the second half of the century. The tops are often covered up by jackets, but we have found some portraits show casing the tops. A good example is the blouses that the Ekstrand brothers. 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 unaffected. 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 varied somewhat at mid-century. We note Swedish boys wearing "T"-shirts in the 1950s.

The most destinguishable elemment of most tops is the collar. Often the type of top is determned by the collar. And in the 19th century often all we get to see of a top is the collar or part of the collar. Other elements inclde the sleeve, plcket and waist treatment. The waist tretmnt is where shirts and bluses differ. Boysps had long sleeves in the 19th centuy. Shrt sleeves did no apar unil the 20th century.
