We see German boys wearing a wide range of garments in the 1920s. This depended somewhaton age and the type of school. Headwear varied in primary schools. Headwar was more standardized in secondary schools. Many boys wore the military styled school cap in the 1920s. Some primary school boys wore them, but they were most common in secondary schools. Sailor suits continued to be popular schoowear in the 1920s, but not nearly as popular as before World War I (1914-18). This was most common for boys in primary school, but we also see younger teenagers in secondary school wearing long stockings. Black long stockings were prevalebnt in the early 20s, but we begin to see more lighter colors like light brown and grey by the end of the decade. Girls might wear white long stockings. We continue to see high-top shoes being commonly worn, but we see more low-cut shoes by the end of the decade. Boys also continued wearing shortened-length pants. Knee pants transitioned into short pants. Older boys might wear knickers or long pants. Boys wearing knee pants and short pants commonly wore long stockings, although this was somewhat seasonal, especially by the end of the decade..
