how would one say in russian all of whom, in the context such as:

"I was looking at the children, all of whom were wearing purple underwear".



thx!


note: The sentence above is just a random example I used to put the phrase "all of whom" into some context so it would be easier to find a more correct variant in russian. Yeah.. and now that I think about it, it does sound somewhat vulgar... but it's what came off the top of my neighbors head.

Каждый из которых

Я смотрел на детей, на каждом из которых было сиреневое бельё.

I'd put it like "которые все".

Я смотрел на всех детей, которые были одеты в сереневые трусики.

Or a little more Russian:

Я смотрел на детей в сереневых трусиках.

I'd like to know why you were looking at children in purple underwear???

But yeah, I second what msk01 said. Я смотрел на всех детей, которые были в сиреневых турсиках is the same but a little less formal.

I think, that would be a little better...

Berzerg's is the one that best conveys the English meaning. So:
Я смотрел на детей, которые все были в пурпурных/фиолетовых белье.

I'm shocked. Is it so difficult to translate into Russian? The correct variant is Я смотрел на детей, все из которых были в сиреневых трусиках. Also possible Я смотрел на детей, каждый из которых был в сиреневом белье, but it's sounds much more formal. I'm Russian.
