Trends in boys clothes have of course been influenced by a variety of
social trends. Manu of these trends are touched upon in the
chronological pages, but I thought it might be a good idea to
synthesize this information and highlight major developments for
major historical eras:
Some of these tends are illustrated in personal experiences:
The 1850s: The Brownings
The 1860s: The Tennysons
The 1880s: The Stracheys
The 1890s: The Woods
The 1890s: The Sassoons
The 1890s: The Tolkiens
The 1900s: Stephen Tennant
The 1940s: Alexander Mosley
The 1940s
The 1940s-50s
The 1950s
The 1950s: A council and secondary modern
The 1950s
The 1950s-60s: John
The 1950s-60s
The 1960s
The 1970s
The 1970s
The 1980s
The 1990s

any input my British visitors might offer.
