Figure 1.--We note several Japanese schools that require white socks for both boys and girls. Often the children can wear either ankle or kneesocks as long as they are white. This is interesting as Japanese schoiols are often quite stict about other aspects of the uniform. |
Boys at other elementary schools requiring shorts allow boys to wear ankle socks, again primarily white. Often the school does not impose a standard type so boys may wear both ankle or knee socks. The same convention tended to appy to girls as well. Some schools insist on at least a common color, although some schools even allow some variation here, at leasr white, blue, and grey socks. Bright colored socks would probably not be permitted. We note several Japanese schools, like the school here, that require white socks for both boys and girls (figure 1). Often the children can wear either ankle or kneesocks as long as they are white. This is interesting as Japanese schoiols are often quite stict about other aspects of the uniform.
