Blouses were very common in the 19th century, especially for boys. We do not know a lot about the early-19th century, but that was certainly the case for boys in the second half of the century. Thiswas less true for girls who mosly wore dresses. The boys 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 phnomenonm in Sweden and Scandanavia in general, as we can see here, Seeden was not unaffected. Girls primarily wore dreses in th19th century, but by the end of the century we see grls wearing blouses with shirts. After the early-20th century, shirt like garments changed with blouses becoming primarily a girl's garment, although some younger boys wore them. ost shirts began to be made to be worn without suit jackets. 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.
