We continue to see the sailor suit being worn by a wide age range in Germany during the 1920s. It was a major style for schoolage boys and schoolwear. They were worn by children of before school age up to younger teenagers. Boys began school at age 6 years. And the sailor suit was perhaps the most common outfit that we see vin the almost obligtory first day portrait that German parents insisted on taking. The choice of sailor suits varied from family to family, by a very large number of German boys wore them. And for many boys it was used as their dress up suit. The styles worn were basically the same for all boys across the age range. German school photography shows how commpn sailor suits were. Most class portaits continue to show large numbers of boys wearing sailor suits. We begin to see fewer boys wearing sailor suits after the first 4 years of primary school, but they were still very common even in subsequent years. Beginning about age 15 we begin to see fewer boys wearing sailor suits.
