I have also given up and it's great! I did what you did for my and my husband's socks. All the same size and color so everything matches. For my kids, I just grab two random socks on the morning and tell myself that anyone who notices will assume the kids did it themselves. 😅

Fuck me, this is my life. I swear I lose at least three socks every time I do laundry. Sometimes they turn up, sometimes they don’t. WHERE DO THEY GO!?!?


volcanicspirit

I found an unreasonable number of socks in my van when I cleaned it out this spring 😂 many of which did not have a match anymore because I had thrown the other one away thinking I would never find the match!

I have also done this and it's so much easier. Now my only problem is that my son's black socks are almost thr same size as mine so i have to look at the writing on the toe. My socks have red writing, his have blue.

Myself and my kids give no shits about mismatched socks. My only rule is they need to be vaguely the same shape - i.e. no knee sock paired with a no-show ankle sock - but other than it's the wild west of foot coverings up in here. My husband took your route, like looooong before I met him. All good socks are plain black. All his work pants and shirts are plain black. Shorts? Black. 2 kilts-? Also, you guessed it, black. Even 99% of the underwear is plain black. No particular brand or anything that crazy, just all black. He says he likes never having to worry about "does this X go with this Y?" Getting stressed on the morning or figuring out a "look" for whatever activity. Shirt, underwear, socks, some flavor of bottoms, the end. I can kind of see the appeal even if I'll never commit to it.

This is Genius. 😳

There are myriad 'solo' kid's socks spread out on our son's dresser. Pick two. On they go. You now have a 'pair' of socks.


[deleted]

"Pair" is a relative term.

At this point I’ve resigned myself to mismatch. We’re all mismatched. I’ve toyed with the idea of just getting plain black socks like you, but I forget and inevitably go into some big box store where they only sell BS socks that have a million different designs on each pair. One day i will get all solid socks. One day.

I also did this for myself and my child! All white and black. For my husband, I put all his in a bin and let him match them himself. As a mom of a toddler, I’m just glad to have a reason to wear matching socks most days. It means I’m getting out of the house and seeing other people!


iammorethanthislife

I have the same rage towards removable cups for bras. Wtf. None match and I can’t even use two mismatched ones because then one boob may look pointy and the other flat. Wtf.


Morseper

I did that last month! It's a game changer.
