Albs should be worn by servers if there are girls in the Server Corps. If there is Boy only server Corps. then albs or Cassocks and surplices.
Since in the (good) “old days” the altar boys wore this garb to associate with the priesthood. I was there and this is what I was told by my childhood priests and the bishop when he visited…I personally remember the connection with my priest when I donned the cassock and surplice and I vividly remember the visible similarities as I attended and served the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass…Cassocks and Surplices are male attire…
A girl dressing in a cassock and surplice is like a boy dressing up like a nun.
