Best Answer

Clothing worn by Irish immigrants in the 1850s reflected the poverty caused by the potato famine. The men wore knee britches, linen shirts, wool socks, and heavy shoes. Women wore a long linen undergarment covered by a dress or a wool skirt and a bodice. They often wore aprons and headscarves as well.
