Wait do you guys store your socks like this, lying them out flat? Or is this just for the picture?

I believe the proper technique is to fold everything but socks and underwear then dump it all in the top drawer of the dresser.

I only buy a specific pair of black mid adidas socks for this reason, they are my favorite sock and no matching is needed

Same here for saucony socks. I use them for rowing, cycling and just general dress down days. I buy an 18 pack once a year, and let them battle it out for survival of the fittest.

For that sweet sweet fit that never binds or bunches. As a long distance runner that never gets blisters or any other foot malady caused by inferior socks I swear by them and they still keep you warm when you get them wet well below freezing

Does the fact that they still provide the functionality of wool socks with the additional functionality is shape that will can’t provide threaten you in someway?

I do the same thing. I also only wash them once I’ve used all pairs so that they are all washed equally and will wear out semi evenly.

I just go by where they fall in the strata of my hamper. Those that go into the empty basket stand the best chance, but life is full of uncertainty.

Top drawer!! Digging through the shit single socks in keep for some reason to find the decent socks.

haha, I'm actually lying because I leave all my clothes in the basket and just pull from there. Only thing that gets put away neatly are clothes I would wear out if I ever went out

Nah but fr same. I only started folding my clothes once it became a pain in the ass to remember which one was the dirty bin and the clean bin. And then i would have shirts and shorts that I barely wear (winter time) and no socks and underwear

No lol I just did it for the picture. I store them like the last pair that's under the belt

I put my pairs together long side and fold them in half once. No need to wear the elastic any faster

I do this too! It makes it easier to rotate through the socks so they wear evenly.
