Middy-collared ensemble

A sailor suit is a child's outfit styled after naval uniforms, typically featuring a square collar, neckerchief, and nautical details like stripes or anchors.

Popular from the late 19th century when royal children wore them, sailor suits remain common for formal occasions and school uniforms in some countries: The boys wore matching sailor suits for the wedding.
