Some boys wore short trousers in primary school in the 70s and 80s but it wasn't as common as previous decades. Then again, some schools may have been stricter than others!

During the 40s and 50s most boys were about 13 before they their first long trousers. By the time I left primary school in the late 60s, most boys were changing to long trousers around eleven, sometimes a year or two younger. I wore short trousers until I left primary school, which was quite normal at the time. Fashions have changed since then!

The boy's sailor suit was evidently just as popular in France, Germany, Austria. However I'm still learning the subtle differences in how they imitated their respective navies.

Some of the outfits are pretty cute - especially the sailor suits. But some - oh my! Those poor young boys - except that was the fashion of the day so they were in style. And my kids complain about how I dressed them in the '70s & '80s!La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-583689790007235892015-11-19T16:36:58.312+00:002015-11-19T16:36:58.312+00:00What wonderful photos.

But I guess that was preferred to having to patch knees on slacks...which of course were outgrown quickly. I didn't realize the beginning of boys wearing shorts.
