sailor suits

Middy-collared children's clothing

Sailor suits are outfits styled after naval uniforms, featuring a distinctive wide collar, often with stripes, and typically including a middy blouse and bell-bottom trousers or a pleated skirt.

Originally worn by sailors, the style became popular children's clothing in the late 19th century and remains associated with Japanese schoolgirl uniforms: She dressed her son in a little sailor suit for the photo.
