Figure 1.--This German boy had a snap shot taken at home during 1932. He wear a light-weight sweater with tasskle, short pants, and long stockings. We are unsure anout the color, but they seem to match.

We also note lighter shades becoming more popular in he 1930s. We still see black and dark long stockings in the early 1930s. Colored stockings became more cmmon as the decade progressed. I am not entirely sure about the colors of dark long stockings. I think dark bown was very common. I do not note if blue stockings were worn. I am less sure about other colors. These dark shades were, however, beginning to change by the late 30s. We then note children wearing lighter colors. Various tan shades in particular were becoming popular. We also note grey, but it was less common. We still see black stockings in the late 30s, but they were becoming more a color to be used for formal dress. A readerwrites, "This boy is pretty obviously wearing ribbed long stockings. I agree that the color must be brown, the most common color, although black was also very common in the early 30s. Beige or light tan stockings were also gaining in popularity."
