Last time he used white and maybe even other coloured socks too meaning there are even more socks in this house.
I need to know why do you have so many socks u/DearEmphasis4488
Years ago I threw out all my socks and got a ton of the same sock, figuring that as I lose/wear out socks I can just get more of those and the matching is so much less important.
Now that I'm starting to think "I should buy another pack of socks", they don't make that specific kind anymore. So now I have to decide, do I do the same thing, throw out every sock, get all the same again? or do I get a very similar style? Which means then I'd either have to accept my socks not matching anymore or look very closely to match them...or I could just give up and get socks that work and put myself back where I started, a pile of unmatched socks
For that reason I buy clothes every 2 years. I just spend a whole week buying, making everything match and I don’t worry about clothing for another 2 years.
About ten years ago I switched all my socks to Darn Tough brand socks. They're $20 a pair($25 these days) but they have a lifetime guarantee, so when I had a pair finally wore through the sole earlier this year I sent off the old pair, and had a voucher for a free replacement pair of socks a week later, and I was able to get the exact same style of sock that I got 10 years ago. Can't recommend highly enough.
I gave up on matching socks years ago. Sometimes you’ll catch me wearing one white sock, one black sock. Sometimes it’s one gray and one red. When the stars align I’ll wear the same color and same brand
I have a few different kinds of socks: black, white, ankle, no show, etc. But within each type they are all the same. So all the black ankle socks are all the same for example.
I have them in rows in my dresser, and always take the one from the front. Then when I do laundry I push them to the front in order and put the freshly cleaned ones in the back. So basically just a first in first out kind of system. It just makes sense to me and it's easy.
Last year over the course of like 3 months I had all 12 pairs of my black ankle socks get holes in them. After having them for a couple years. That showed me that I was definitely wearing them pretty evenly. Replaced the whole set all at once with 12 new pairs.
That's the thing. As they got worn or tear, you just cycle them out. Then when you get to the point where you don't have enough socks between laundry cycles, you turn the rest into rags and buy another 20 pair.
It must be a sales tactic to sell socks in packs with 6 different pairs. The ability to wear different designs is definitely outweighed by the fact that once you lose / water out one sock, the other is made redundant.
I hate doing laundry for my girls. there must be 300 different socks in rotation around here
I used to buy only black or white socks until one day after laundry, half of 2 of those pairs suddenly changed colors. Like the left is black and the right is white. Then the other pair had white left and black right. Weird.
my friend has a huge pile of socks in his closet that he has been collecting from every single birthday, christmas, graduation- anything that lends to his father sending him a gift. his father with 100% certainty will send him a pack of socks. he has moved all over the country but takes his socks with him every time.

This is the first time I have seen 200 socks outside a store.
