bobbysocks
Folded-over ankle socks
Bobbysocks are ankle-length socks, typically white and often worn cuffed, associated with teenage girls in 1940s and 1950s America.
The term evokes the era of sock hops and early rock and roll.
A bobbysoxer was a teenage girl of that period, especially one who swooned over crooners like Frank Sinatra.
