We are not entirely sure about the suspension of Japanese school shorts. We notice that the girls commonly wear suspender skirts. Suspender shorts, however, are not very common. We see some boys with clip on suspenders, but not the supenders straps in the same material and attached to the shorts. We see some boys wearing suspender shorts, but not very many. We do not know why this difference developed. Japanese short pants seem to have been influenced by European styles and suspender shorts were quite common in Europe in the 1940s and 50s when current school fashions were set in Japan. We are not sure if belts were very common. Many boys seem to be wearing black belts on navy blue shorts making it hard to notice the beltts. We do note older primary boys wearing belts. We dp not, however, have much information on the types of belts worn. Some of the shorts may have had partial elastic waists.
