What should you wear to a sock hop?

* Dresses: For women, dresses were the most popular choice for sock hops, and typically fell just below the knee. They were often made of cotton, silk, or chiffon and came in a variety of colors and prints.

* Skirts and blouses: Skirts and blouses were also popular, and could be mix-and-matched to create a variety of looks. Skirts were typically made of cotton or wool, and blouses were made of cotton, silk or nylon.

* Jeans: Jeans were not as common at sock hops as they were at other dances, but they were still an option, particularly for men.

* Sweaters: Sweaters were also popular, and could be worn over dresses, blouses or skirts.

* Shoes: For men, saddle shoes were the most popular choice for sock hops. For women, Mary Jane shoes were popular. Both men and women could also wear penny loafers, Oxfords or bucks.

* Socks: White cotton ankle socks were the most common choice for both men and women.

* Accessories: Some popular accessories for sock hops included hair scarves, headbands, jewelry and costume jewelry.
