The costuming seems quite accurate for 1948. The costuming does not change much during the film as the events take place largely during a short period of time--a weekend. Phillipe wears a sleeveless pull-over, dark short pants (probably navy blue), and white ankle socks. He buttons his collare, but does not wear a tie. This accurately reflects French styles, but was a little different than Englsh styles. Grey shorts were more common than blue shorts in England. White socks were not very common in England, but sandals were very common. Sleeveless pull-overs were worn in both England and Frabce.
