Both boys an girls wore smocks. They were not differentiated by color. Girl's smock were, however, always longer and some of them even had a waist-belt made from the same material as the smock itself. In the 1970s when different styles of smocks became available, the girls in particular wanted to wear destinctive styles. They all continued to wear the same colors, mostly blue, but the different styles became very popular with the girls. HBC has noted the appearance of apron or gardner-style smocks in the 1990s. They appear to be most common in primary schools, but are seen in secondary schools as well. Most of the available images show girls wearing this style. A Hungarian reader reports that it was worn mostly by girls, but at least one religious primary school has both boys and girls were wearing the same style apron-like smock.
