Uruguayan School Smocks: Chronology


Figure 1.--This Uruguayan school photo was taken in 1954 in Chuy. Only one boy is not wearing a smock. The pupils are wearing white smocks. Note the the stylitic differences. The lab coat style was not yet very common. More than half wear the blue bow. Several of the children are barefoot.

We are not yet sure about the chronology of Uruguayan school smocks. We have limited chronological informtion. We are not sure when the white school smocks were introduced, but believe it was during the early-20th century, although we do not yet have photographs from this early period. They may not at first been mandatory. The earliest example we have found so far comes from the 1950s, long after the convention was established. We noticed children wearing these smocks in Montivedeo on the previous page. We notice new school laws were passed which include provisions reafirming that white smocks were mandatory (2004). And we continue to see children wearing these smocks in the 2010s. We have found some recent images, but very few historical images at this time. The major trend we have noted over time is that the lab coat dtyle seems to becoming more important.
