Bobby socks are a style of women's socks. They are usually white and worn ankle-length or collected at the ankle, instead of being rolled up fully extended on the leg. The term is derived from the socks being worn "bobbed", meaning around the ankle.[1]
The popularity of bobby socks among young American women in the 1940s led to this demographic being popularly referred to as "bobby soxers".[2]
They were initially popular in the United States in the 1940s and 1950s, and they later made a comeback in the 1980s.[3]
