Best Answer

High schools used to have dances in the gym. They made kids take off their shoes. So, they danced in their socks. During the 1950's, teenagers would get together to listen to records and dance and the type of dance was easier to do in their socks. In those days, teenagers wore thick white socks and "saddle oxfords" shoes. Today, people will have a dance and refer to it as a Sock Hop so people will wear old 1950's clothes.
