I have one pair each in a variety of colors (Blue, sky blue, purple, pink, forest green, hunter green, olive, brown, gray argyle, brown/lime green argyle), then about 6 pairs or so of black socks, three pairs of white Nike ankle socks, and like a full pack or so at any given time of white Hanes ankle-cut athletic socks.

Best socks I've ever owned were the original Soles. Still no holes and they are worn at least once a week. Had them for three+ years now.

You can never have too many socks.
Just less times you have to do laundry.

I hate matching socks. I had a Grand Plan to buy 20 pair of new black socks and throw away all of my other socks. Then I could throw all of my unmatched socks in a drawer and pull out any two singletons and be guaranteed a match. Golden for 4 weeks!
Then I learned two upsetting facts. Socks should match pants, not shoes. And back shoes don't go with khakis. So now I own 6 pair of brown socks and a shattered dreams. |

I've been doing that for years. I have about 2 dozen cold weather pairs of socks. The rest are all exact match white socks. As soon as one gets a hole, they all become rags and I go buy 2 dozen of the same exact socks. I never have to sort or match.

Calf high white athletic socks?
I have a drawer full of black ankle high athletic socks, a drawer of dress socks, and a cabinet shelf with ski, riding, hiking socks. Though my preference is to not wear socks at all as often as possible.

Can't believe no one's brought up the price of socks these days. I mean... $24 for a pair of 4... UNREAL.

Probably 150 for my work socks. I buy a dozen or so of the same kind and then throw them all away when one sock gets a hole, and buy a new dozen.
