Many countries like Italy had no destinctive schoolheadwear. English boys continued wearing peaked school caps. The basic cap was farily standard, but done in many colors and patterns, such as segmented colors and circles. Girls wore a varirty of hats and tams. Many of the hats were variations of sailor styles. The English headweat often included the school badge. We continue to see berets in France. Many German boys continued wearing the peaked military cadet caps, but somewhat less commonly than in the 1920s. Some younger boys wore berets, ever during the hype-nationalyic NAZI era. Japanese boys also wore cadet caps. Japanese army caps were also common. The girls contiued to wear sailor hats. School for Japaese girls was becoming increasingly common. There were changes in America. The still see flat caps. It was not a school-mandated style, just the popular style for boys at the time and so commonly worn to school. It was ubiquitous in the 1910s and 20s and was still worn in the early-30s. It generally declined in popularity afrer the early-30s, but had largely gone out of style by the end of the decade.
