We see a Sears page for knee socks in the 1963 fall and winter catalog (page 222). This means fall 1963 and winter 1964. Sears calls them 'knee-highs'. Knee socks were clearly being marketed for girls. Often in the 60s knee socks were marketed for children. But here they are marketed for women and girls. The depiction suggests, however, grey knee socks for boys. Now gils might wear short pants with knee socks, but it was not very common for girls to do this, especilly with grey dress short pants. The shoes look to be loafers which girls dd wear with knee socks.
