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

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

I buy all my socks at once. So at any time I have 20 of the same socks, so if I lose one I still have 19 that match.

That way I never get missing single socks. Pretty useful.

Do you not find that you end up with socks with different levels of wear or do you cycle the 20 before a wash?

are you saying it would be an issue to wear two socks that are otherwise identical but one is more worn than the other?

By worn I’m referring more to the quality of the sock reducing, I’d find it annoying if one sock was noticeably less comfortable than the other

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.
