British boys in the 1940's wore flannel shirts and shorts/trousers with suspenders, depending on the weather. The shirts were loose fitting, and preferred slightly over sized. They wore knee length socks, and black leather shoes, with buckles. In colder weather, hand knitted pullovers, gloves, socks, mittens, scarves and a floppy woollen cap were the norm. British girls dressed conservatively in long, below-knee-level skirts and dresses. Peasant blouses, stockings and low heeled pumps were the normal fashion. Much stress was laid on emphasizing the femininity of the wearer. Upper class girls and women often wore lace-edged loose blouses, teamed up with long flowing calf-length skirts and dresses. Trousers were worn mostly by sports-minded women, especially those with a penchant for horse riding. The type of trousers worn by horse riders were popularly known as 'jodhpurs': loose around the thighs and tight around the calves.
Party wear demanded that both girls and boys turned out very "properly" dressed. Hair was styled with great care, and along with footwear, emphasized the background and breeding of the person.
