1867: A Three-Year-Old Boy's Fashionable Attire This photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library, taken in 1867, showcases the elegant attire of a young boy, dressed in fashionable clothing that was popular during that era. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the sartorial tastes and trends of the time, providing an intriguing insight into the lives of children in the late 19th century. The boy, around three years old, is seen wearing a well-tailored, double-breasted coat made of rich, dark fabric, possibly wool or velvet. The coat features a high collar, lapels that fold back, and long, narrow sleeves that extend to his wrists. The garment is accessorized with a matching waistcoat, which adds a touch of sophistication to the ensemble. The young boy also wears a stylish hat, a boater, which sits atop his head at a jaunty angle. The hat's wide brim protects his face from the sun, while its ribbon band adds a decorative touch. Completing the outfit is a pair of trousers, likely made of the same fabric as the coat, and a collared shirt, which is tucked neatly into the trousers. The boy's attire is further enhanced by the presence of hoops, which can be seen beneath his coat. These hoops, or petticoats, were not uncommon for young boys during this period, as they were believed to help shape and support their developing bodies. The fashion for boys' hoops, which was inspired by the crinoline skirts worn by women, was a reflection of the gender blurring that occurred in Victorian-era fashion. This photograph offers a unique window into the world of children's fashion in the late 19th century, revealing the intricacies and nuances of a bygone era. The young boy, with his well-dressed appearance, embodies the elegance and refinement of the time, making this image a must-see for anyone interested in the history of fashion and childhood.
