With my method, I wear my socks very infrequently and have a lot of wardrobe variety. Therefore, I derive a fashion advantage at no extra cost.
I don't like variety. I think I would be crippled by such choices and inevitably disappointed with my daily choice.

RIGHT?!?!?!?
When I put on a pair of socks, I know that they're well rested and ready for action.

Yes, but you also maintain a surplus that has lost it's "sock burst".

We're not talking about buying a new car.

You should update the OP with accurate numbers and math.
I'm afraid that someone will try to break in and steal them.

The elasticity and thickness-quotients have to be a lower mid-tier by now, regardless of care.

I could see a potential issue with that. But I like having a sock for every job. Need a sock with elephants? I got it. Need one with a Union Jack? Check. Need some plain gray or white? Of course. I feel like I'm seldom caught flat-footed when I open my sock cabinet.

No one wants your "Bernard Pollard"-quality socks except the homeless.

Go make a donation.

I don't think that socks have a half-life, do they? Assuming that I can keep the moths out, they should remain well-preserved. I think they've found Egyptian socks that are still wearable after 4,000 years.

I'm also intrigued by the fact that our estimates in the poll are all over the board. We wear socks almost every day of our lives, and yet we know so little about them. We can't even estimate their life span. What kind of civilization are we?

Is there ever an occasion that cannot be filled by a plain white, black, or brown sock?

Sometimes you have to dress to impress. Chicks at parties don't comment on plain socks.

I just went and looked, I probably have at least that many pairs.


I wear black work socks, thicker than normal and when I put one on that has a hole I just chuck it and the next time I'm a the store I buy a new pack and rotate it in and just keep throwing away and buying socks. There is a decent sized laundry basket of socks.


I probably should quit purchasing. I just opened a new pack yesterday. Lol

When they get holes in them, they're thrown out... otherwise I'm looking at a wearable pair of socks.

Or more to the point; outside of a trip to the Marquee Club for Ska Night, when exactly do a pair of "Union Jack" socks become necessary?
