The sailor suit syles were more standardized than before the War. The boys wears relatively similar styles, although the colors vary. The most commo style was a sailor blouse and short pants. the blouses tebded to have a very common cut, the colors vried. varied. we note both white, dark, and stroped blouses. The dark ark blouses were navy blue. This varied seaonably. The striped blouses were mostly navy on white, bit there may have been other colors. They were worn with and without dickies. While this was the most common sailor style.outfir which you can see in the class here (figure 1), it was not the only style. We also see more of an elaborte suit outfit with a kind of jacket rather than a simple blouse. Detailing like brass buttons were common. This was much less common and we do not see many of these suits worn to school, but we do see several in fitst day portraits. Thesuits might have been worn for the portraits, but not commonly worn to school. Presumablly the boys also had sailor blouse outfits for ordinary school days. We think large numbers of boys had the blouse outfits, but much smallr numbers had the suit outfits. The suit outfits were also commonly worn with short pants.
