The History of Fashion (Part 6) - @iambenavat

One of the simple signature outfits of this decade was the black and
white washable Welsh wool dress. In later years, these dresses were
then made from man-made materials. Gingham skirts were displayed in an
Issue of Vogue during this decade as well, which means these dresses
were most likely worn quite a bit. In the year 1964 boys often wore a
wool blazer and grey shorts. During this time, both boys and girls
wore short white socks when they were young and knee-length socks when
older. These socks were often held up by garter belts.
Toddlers in the 1960s were often seen in pinafore rompers. These were
often worn over a blouse or jersey. From 1965 to 1970, outfits such as
the machine-washable sleep suit were worn by babies, and this outfit
was considered to be one of the most useful clothing items up to this
time period. For the small boy during the late 1960s and early 1970s,
a tweed coat with long trousers-similar to the 1950s boys outfits-is
worn with a stiffened woolen hat. Girls during this time dressed much
like the women of the time, in high-waist dresses and matching ribbed
tights. In the 1970s, girls wore a variety of different kind of
outfits similar to what women wore, such as Indian print shirts. They
also wore print silky outfits of a matching shirt and flared pants.
The 1980s is the start of another evolution in children's clothing.
Girls during this decade wore outfits such as the unisex poly-cotton
brushed leisure suit. Small boys during this decade wore outfits such
as a suit with a bright blue top that has red sleeves with logo on
chest, along with pants to match. Other children's outfits worn during
this time include girls' dresses in blue and white, with vest-shaped
top and gathered short skirt. This was often worn with accessories
such as heart-shaped sunglasses, canvas sandals, and hair tied up with
bright stretchy bands. The nineties school and summer fashions were
made for children to be able to move and play in. A signature boys'
outfit of this time is the blue jeans overall outfit, and the girls'
signature outfit is the jean dress with a white trim and pink shirt
underneath. Clothes from the 1990s for children share a similar vein
as to the ones in the present day. The most important aspect of making
clothing for children today is to make sure the outfits are safe to
wear and that they fit well.
