One thing about Japanese girls is that they are rarely seen without socks! Even in the summer, when they’re wearing sandals, they’ll wear socks with them. See-through socks, normal socks, stockings, there’s a huge variety! As for office workers, stockings are considered a courtesy. Aiko was one of my early loves I met in my voyages in Tokyo. She never wore socks. She never wore much else for that matter.
