Lituanian children by the 1980s seem to be weating the same styles and garments as children in the rest of Europe. An exception appears to have neen tights.
Long stockings were very common in Lithuania through much of the 20th century. They continued to be worn in the Soviet Union zfter they went out of style in Western Europe. They were replaced in the late-1960s by tights. Both boys and girls wore them. Girls tended to wear bright colors thast were not as popular with boys. Boys more commonly wore tights in the Soviet Union than the rest of Europe. And this appears to have been the case in Lithusania as well. We note a Lithuanian film, "Electronic Granny" (1985) in which both boys and girls wear tights. The boys wear them with short pants. That was not particularly unusual in the Soviet Union. Less common was wearing tights with socks. We do not know if that was common in Lithuaia at the time.
