Step back in time to 1915, an era of bold fashion statements and unwavering patriotism, as depicted in this photograph of patterned stockings. On the left, two pairs of stockings embody the spirit of the First World War. The first pair showcases intricate embroidery of Allied flags, including the Union Jack, French Tricolor, and the Irish tricolor, adorned with shamrocks and ribbon garters in Allied colors. This patriotic embellishment was a popular choice among debutantes, allowing them to express their allegiance and support for the Allied forces. On the right, a charming pair of stockings featuring playful squirrels frolicking at the ankles, designed by the renowned hosiery brand Peter Robinson. These novelty stockings offered a delightful contrast to the more serious and patriotic designs of the time. The intricate embroidery on these stockings was a testament to the fashionable embellishments of the First World War era. The stockings were not only functional but also a means of self-expression, allowing women to showcase their personality and allegiance. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of hosiery and fashion during the First World War. The intricate patterns, bold designs, and patriotic embellishments showcase the unique style and spirit of the time. Whether worn for a grand debut or a day of shopping, these patterned stockings remain an enduring symbol of the era's fashionable and patriotic spirit.
