Bobby sock - Wikipedia

Bobby socks are a style of women's sock, white, ankle length or collected at the ankle, instead of at full extension up the leg.

The term bobby soxer derives from this type of sock.^[1]

They were initially popular in the United States in the 1940s through the 1950s, later making a comeback in the 1980s.^[2]
