AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - White socks have been declared indecent by the Dutch Finance Ministry.

A ministry official on Tuesday confirmed a recent internal publication that proclaimed white sports socks "transgress the limits of decent dress behaviour" for ministry employees.

The officials were also expected to wear dark blue or grey suits in order to convey "reliability and professionalism".

"People are expected to dress in accordance with their function," said a spokeswoman, stressing there were no strict controls.
