Boy Choir Costumes: Garments--Socks


Figure 1.--

Socks are only of notable importance in the choir costumes of the boys wearing short pants or knickers. Almost all of the choirs wearing short pants and kneesocks wore grey socks. These were often grey kneesocks with tops in the school collars as many choirs, especially English choirs, were assiciated with choirs. Many of the Continental choirs, especially the French and German choirs wore white kneesocks.
