Most boys wore cut-away jackets with various kinds of pants. The suits included knee pants, knickers, and long pants, but mostly we see some kind of pants. We also see cut-away jackets being worn with dresses. This obviously meant girls, but a few younger boys still wearing dresses had cut-away jackets. These jackets seem more stylish tht the cut-away jackets worn with pants. As part of dress outfits, they were done in the same material and style of the dress. Which means that that they were more coloful and stylish than the cut-away jackets wirn with pants. We notice a range of jacketed dress. The cut away jacket was just one of the different jacket styles.
