Who pairs socks after the wash and why?

Why not just pick two the same out of the drawer at the time of putting them on?

That's what I do and its very easy because I only
have two types of socks with radically different
colors. I buy lots of the same when I buy new ones.

For years, I had two sets of dress socks, navy blue and black. One day, when sorting the laundry, I realized that I had a lot of trouble telling them apart. Since the socks were under my dress boots and pants, I doubt if anyone else could tell the difference, so I threw out the navy blue and went to all black. Now that I'm retired, I just wear white socks, except for the three or four times a year that I have to dress up and wear the black ones.

When I joined a choir I needed black trousers for performances. I
thought my existing black trousers would be good enough, but thought I'd
better seek a second opinion.

So I wore the black trousers to work, and asked a female [1] colleague
"What colour are my trousers?". She replied "Blue". Another illusion
shattered.

Once upon a time I sat down with a female relative and got her to tell
me what color every pair of trousers I owned was...I then sewed a button
of a more emphatic shade of that color inside the cuff of each
pair...garment-matching solved until the next time I bought new ones....r

There was a theory that women have more cones in their eyes and can see colours more accurately. But apparently it's just a slightly higher chance of having the fourth cone. So I guess for most women it's just because they're damn fussy.

I can tell that two colours are different side by side, but if asked what colour something is, I just quote a few basic colours. Something can be black, blue, green, red, etc. Women use about 10 different words for varying shades of purple for example. I won't go any further than "light purple" and "dark purple".

I did the reverse - Almost all my socks are black, except for a couple
of pairs of white ones reserved for the few warm days when I'm wearing
light-coloured slacks.

I went down the route of only buying black socks. I started from scratch
by disposing of all the old socks and then buying around 20 pairs of the
same type at the same time. I select two socks at random from the
drawer. After around a year there is no truly matching pair[1]. The
number of times that the sock has been worn, washed and the time in the
sun drying on the line changes the colour. I have some some that are as
black as when purchased but other are more a shade of dark grey. Also
the different temperatures used for washing can slightly shrink socks by
different amounts.

I learned this a long time ago, which is why I pair the socks.

They also lose elasticity at different rates.

I bought a pair of low-cut socks for golf from the pro shop and was
amazed to discover that they are labeled left and right, the color
woven (knitted?) right into the fabric.

Not uncommon for socks with logos - generally sports ones - to be handed
because of a single logo.

Clearly for the full range of pain you should have purchased 25 pairs.

Don't get that effect with mine, and I do always line dry them.

I do mostly wash most of them at the same time, wait till
I run out and wash all the dirty ones at the same time.

Havent got that effect with mine, but none of them were
black initially. Half are mid grey/green and half of them
are a sort of dark brown with a hint of red in them.

Mine are all very heavy wool mix sox,
none of those thin cotton sox for me.

Don't have that problem either, I always wash in cold water.

I used to wash very greasy overalls in hot water but don't even
wash overalls at all anymore, do so little work on modern new
cars that I just don't get greasy overalls anymore.

In this house, that is me :-)

I too learned long ago that not all blacks look the same, particularly
after a few washes. Nothing annoys me more than scrabbling around in a
drawer looking for matching socks, so always put them away in pairs.

My socks are now black, but with the day of the week in a bright colour,
on the sole. This makes pairing easy, but also ensures all the socks in
a pack are worn equally, rather than the same few pairs on top with
those at the bottom rarely worn.

I buy a bunch of all the same black socks. Put them in the drawer on the
right end of my "sock section" and take them out on the left. That way,
they all get the same usage, and stay the same.

That's what I've done. Trouble is, I've a lot of socks that look v.
similar[1] but are different lengths - from the same pack. I spend time
sorting them and then find that the last 2 are >1" diferent due to 'near
enough' cumulative errors.
I don't want a pack of 6 pairs; I want a pack of 12 socks, any 2 of which
will be a pair.

[1] some synthetic materials can look quite different colours under
day/LED/florrie/incandescent light and then a tiny change in angle - 4
side-by-side - also seem to differ.

Apparently the most efficient way is to sort them into heaps of
approximate match, then repeatedly refine the matching.

Trouble with those is the immense running cost of them.

Vastly cheaper to dump all the old sox and get a whole
new lot of identical sox that don't fade in the wash.

True, that. You have to take the socks to a window and see them in

I can very easily distinguish the red socks with birds on from the
green ones with foxes on, but whenever life's sock decisions get too
tough I just wear odd ones.

Coofs will either not notice my socks or not comment.
Those who both notice and comment are more entertaining company.

Does that mean you're throwing away half the shoes you buy? I wonder if there's a swap meet on the net somewhere where you can find people with odd feet the other way round?

I find that it is easier to spend the time judging which socks match in good
light when there's plenty of time (ie as I'm putting them away after washing
them), so I can take a pair out, maybe when I'm tired and when the curtains
are still drawn so the light isn't perfect.

If all your socks are interchangeable (eg all of them are black) it's easy.
But distinguishing between dark navy, faded black and brand-new really black
is not easy and sometimes has to be done by a process of elimination - pair
up all the ones that are easy to match and what is left *should be* a pair.

Maybe the US (.com) site does, but I'd expect the UK (.co.uk) site to call
them trousers. Being English, I will always use a British English word
rather than an American English word, especially if the American word exists
in British English but has a very different meaning:

tap/faucet
flat/apartment
courgette/zuchini

are fine, but

pants can mean either trousers or underwear
fanny can mean - well, we all know about that difference between British and
American :-)

I use English, it's a language from England. You're speaking American, which is bastardised English. You're wrong.

And anyway, the UK part of Amazon says "trousers":

And why would you buy from Amazon when Ebay has more range, and is cheaper, and has a better website for finding things, and has a better feedback system?

It doesn't matter what the subject, your way is always the way everybody
should "think" or act. It doesn't matter how stupid it is.

Who pairs socks after the wash and why?
Why not just pick two the same out of the drawer at the time of putting them on?

Troll or not, the answer is "sock rings". Before I retired, I had many
'different' black socks. I'd take them off, and put on a sock ring.
Works great. Google "sock rings".

Be careful with the spelling!

Very easy answer. Makes then easier to carry from the drier to the socks
drawer. But then it's very unlikely you know how to use a washing machine.

You carry your clothes in a heap in your arms? Don't you have some sort of container? I shove all the washing from the machine into the box, carry that to the drawers, then shove all the socks in the sock drawer. Why would I waste time pairing them all? When I put socks on in the morning, I just pick one at random, then pick another the same colour.

So a nice empty sock drawer, then. Figures.

Your Colonel do. As a military man (Vietnam war hero), I learned to impose order upon my life. The military has that sorta effect on a fella, you know. Anywho, I find pairing my socks after washing is just the sort or order I need. And something else, too...


Every third wash (or so), I turn them socks inside-out, to get the lint out.
How about that?

Aren't army folk tough enough to not use socks?
