Bobbysocks, those ankle-high socks worn by teenage girls in the 1940s and 1950s, have several synonyms. One of them is "ankle socks," which accurately describes their length. They are also known as "scrunched socks" because they are often worn scrunched or folded down at the ankle. Another term is "poodle socks," which was a popular term in the 1950s. This was because of the trend of sewing a poodle image onto the sock. Finally, they are sometimes referred to as "teen socks" or "girl socks" because of their association with young female fashion. Regardless of the term used, bobbysocks remain a symbol of vintage fashion and the era of rock and roll.
