Long stockings were still commonly worn in Canada during the 1920s. We note in 1922 that black and other dark colors were still the most common. Eton's catalogs offering long stockings with a full page advertisement in 1922. The Spring and Summer catalog of 1922 (p. 131)
shows stockings for boys and girls. Although knee socks were sometimes worn, boys and girls were still wearing mainly long stockings in 1922 since boys continued to wear either knee pants or knickers, often buckled above the knee. Formal or ordinary non-casual dress still required long stockings, especially for older boys. This advertisement features only black long stockings.
