We note large numbers of boys wearing sailor suits with long stockings. This was especially the case in the 19th century, but we akso see long stockings being worn in the 20th century as well yntil World War II. After the War, German boys dod not commonly wear sailor suits. In some families, long stockings were worn seasonally as warm weather clothes. Other parents used long stockings as a kind of standard hosiery. An example of a boy wearing long stocks is an unidentified German boy, probably in the 1930s. Black stockings like this were sometimes worn for formality. We note both light and dark colred stockings. Some mothers appeared to have tried to match the suit and hosiery, but this was not always the case. A factor here was the that the popularity of certain long stocking colors varied chronologically.
