Sweaters were an important garment for Swiss school children, especially the boys. Switzerland is a mountanous country and even on a nice summer day can be a little chilly in the morning. During the Winter it can be very cold and snowy. sweaters were an ideal garment for keeping warm on a chilly day. And the sweater was a flexible garment in that it could be taken off if the day warmed up. We notice swiss children wearing a wide variety of sweaters to school. We notice different types. There were different collars as well as various buttoining arrangements. We also see pullovers. Most sweaters had long sleeves, but there were also sleeveless sweaters. There was also a range of colors and patterns.
