Today there are no problems with clothes from the word "absolutely". Kids of all ages, they themselves are well versed in fashion trends and "teach" parents to what is now "sucks", and what is now on the "hype". But of course Well, it wasn't always like that. The editors of Glamor magazine made an interesting fashion-historical project, which clearly showed how in a century children's fashion in the United States was changing. I wonder how parents let their children to walk in shorts even in winter?

1910s





The boys of that time wore knee-length shorts with long woolen socks all year round, and full-fledged trousers began to be worn only with adolescence. Also a distinctive feature of children's fashion that time is the wearing of sailors with T-shirts under them, which created the illusion of a shirt.

1920s



In the 20s, wool blazers, which were considered clothing for cricket and tennis have become everyday wear for boys. It is wool preferred, since the fabric of this material required less product care.

1930s





The 30s is the time of the Great Depression. Families most affected by this period, I had to dissolve the bags of flour and use burlap for sewing clothes for children. Young boys are like that they wore short shorts even in cold weather.

1940s



Because of World War II, there was a shortage of textiles throughout America, therefore dense, hard-wearing fabrics such as denim were in demand.

A real revolution: from the 50s, boys of any age began to wear long pants! The style has become looser. In place of the classic blazers came loose sweaters.

1960s



Plaid and skinny trousers have been in fashion throughout decades. Red, yellow and orange are the main fashion colors of the 60s.

1980s



For the first time ever, boys' Converse-type sneakers have become wear outside the gyms, making them everyday shoes. Baggy sweatshirts and bleached jeans are the coolest clothes of the time for cyclists and skaters.

The grunge style prevailed not only in adult clothing, but also penetrated tightly into children's fashion.

The main feature of the 00s was checkered shirts with short sleeves. Also incredibly popular were Heelies roller skates with a wheel, built into the heel - it was so cool that the owners of such crosses were the area's top fashionistas.

Children's fashion has become completely mirrored in adult fashion. Generally, parents and children preferred comfortable fabrics and models, and on jeans were replaced by trousers tapering to the bottom and planted at the bottom on gum.
