My socks match. I wear mostly black socks, unless I'm playing sports in which case it's white socks. I try to have only one model of socks that way I don't care if one is missing, I can still have a pair.

Socks is in my opinion something that can really show how poor a taste in clothing you have.
 
My socks rarely match! I check to make sure I'm wearing two white socks, or two black socks, but the designs might be a little different. Moving all the time does wonders on your ability to keep your socks straight.

Spoiler :
Do your socks match?
Yes, they're from the same pair.

Do you care if they match?
Often.

Do you like socks?
Yes, they're good to me.

Do you have any interesting socks?
Aside from the incredibly dirty and worn ones, no.

When was the last time you bought socks?
It's been a while.

Do you buy your own socks or does someone buy your socks for you?
Usually, I buy for myself.

Have you ever received socks as a gift?
Yes. They come in handy.

Have you ever given socks as a gift?
Probably. I don't remember.

Do you have a lot of the same kind of socks?
Dress socks and now these nice warm ones that were gifts.

Are your socks in good condition?
The newer ones are.

Do you prefer short or long socks?
Long (but not entire calf length long). The short ones that just cover the ankle usually end up falling below my heel. I'd hate to cross my legs and then show skin. It's always looked weird whenever half of someone's calf is visible to the world.

Do you wear socks with sandals?
I don't wear sandals.

Where do you keep your socks?
Often in a pile. Because I'm that organized lately.

Do you have a favorite sock?
His name was Sniffles...:(

Do you do anything with socks other than put them on your feet?
Nothing illegal.

Do you get nice socks, or cheap socks?
Going for nice socks lately. I've noticed the cheapos don't last through the abuse I put them through.

How many socks do you own?
No idea.

What do you do when you lose a sock?
Curl into a fetal position and cry. Then put on a different pair.

When the laundry machines eat a sock, where do you think it goes?
It has yet to happen to me.

What is your favorite color for socks?
It's been pretty much anything but white lately.

How do your socks smell?
Like my feet, shoes, and floor.

Where do you get your socks?
The newest pairs are from Burlington Coat Factory.

Is there any reason you would throw away a sock?
If it's just far too dirty and far too worn.

Do you wear different socks at different times of the year?
No.

Do you wear different socks with different kinds of shoes?
Yes, it's why I've been steering clear of white socks. With black dress shoes and brown or black pants, that would look strange.

Where do you put your socks right after you take them off?
Wherever I have room.

Do you wear socks to bed?
Usually.

Don't you hate it when you're wearing socks and no shoes and you step in a puddle?
Doesn't happen often, but yes.

Have you ever removed stains from your socks?
A few times.

How often do you wash your socks?
Whenever I have enough to justify a wash. Or toss in a few pairs with other items.

Do you have a pet that hides your socks?
No.

Where is the weirdest place you've ever found a sock?
It's a tie between the Atlantic Avenue subway station and Central Park.

What kind of socks are you wearing right now?
Thick, warm socks that are a couple shades of brown.


Why a smoking cowboy is so interested in my sock collection is going to keep me up at night.

Edit: Wow, never realized the post would end up that long just answering questions. Spoiler tags it is.

I have a bunch of white socks I got from a single package about 6 months ago (the last time I bought any clothes), plus a bunch of older ones. The first set are all identical, as are the second. So usually, my socks match.

-------------------------------------------:goodjob:



Lucudyke, do you have a sock fetish?
 
Sometimes I don't have matched socks but that's on purpose, eg if I intend to stay home most of the day or if I want to go out and buy something in the morning before I take a shower. Since one sock always wear out before the other, a lot of whole socks would be thrown away if I didn't keep the odd whole ones.

Most of my socks are black and most got some pattern to make them easier to match after washing. They always have a little elastane in them to make them fit better (and for longer). Only cotton and polyester doesn't work.

I have 30-40 pair of socks right now which covers my needs well. I wash them every second week (and dry tumble them) but want marginal for another week if I forget to wash. That's 21 pairs and some days I wear two pairs, so say 25. Socks is the almost the only gift that usually fulfills all my requirements (size, color, pattern etc) when I receive them.

Today I wore blue pair of socks. I have 3 socks of this kind so I want to wear one of them out to make pair. It feels more appropriate to have black or grey socks at work, however.

I like wearing socks. I actually slept with socks a couple of weeks, because of a combo of bad blood circulation in my feet and chilly sleeping room. That means I wore socks 24/7 which is way much even for me :ack: . Not anymore though.

Do you do anything with socks other than put them on your feet?
Shoe polishing (worn out socks).
 
In order: yes, yes, yes, no, don't know, second one, yes, yes, yes, no, long, yes, a drawer, no, no, nice, a lot, go barefoot, Hawaii, brown, bad, a shop, no, no, yes, a basket, no, yes, no, reasonably often, no, you wouldn't want to know, and I'm not wearing any at the moment.
 
Do your socks match?

Almost always.

Do you care if they match?

Not particularly, but I make sure they do anyway.

Do you like socks?

Yes, my feet go numb otherwise, if it's below 10 degrees.

Do you have any interesting socks?

I have some nice fake-wool socks that are quite warm without being too think.

When was the last time you bought socks?

Can't remember, probably a couple of years.

Do you buy your own socks or does someone buy your socks for you?

Socks for Christmas, I buy my own if I need them.

Have you ever given socks as a gift?

Yes, a couple of my family members basically expect a pair of wool socks from me at Christmas, in addition to whatever (if anything) else I'm getting them.

Do you have a lot of the same kind of socks?

Somewhat, my socks mostly came in packs of about 4.

Are your socks in good condition?

Yes, they get tossed when they start looking too worn out.

Do you prefer short or long socks?

Medium length with pants, only short socks with shorts.

Do you wear socks with sandals?

Sandals, socks and shorts, never. I'll wear socks in sandals if I'm wearing pants and it's cold.

Where do you keep your socks?

In my sock drawer.

Do you have a favorite sock?

I have a bunch of favorite ones, they're grey, and comfy.

Do you do anything with socks other than put them on your feet?

Nope.

Do you get nice socks, or cheap socks?

I get nice socks, cheaply (if not as gifts), I trawl the surplus and used clothing stores in the area, so rarely pay much for clothing.

How many socks do you own?

Too many, my sock drawer is packed, going 2 weeks without doing laundry empties less than half of it, so I'd estimate about 40 pairs.

What do you do when you lose a sock?

I've never lost a sock since I started doing my own laundry.

What is your favorite color for socks?

Grey.

How do your socks smell?

The cleans one don't, the worn ones smell like feet.

Where do you get your socks?

Gifts, or surplus/used clothing, stores, like all my clothes.

Is there any reason you would throw away a sock?

When it gets too thin. (When the cotton wears down and it's just the nylon showing)

Do you wear different socks at different times of the year?

Longer, thicker socks in the winter.

Do you wear different socks with different kinds of shoes?

Yes, specific socks for soccer cleats, dress shoes, snowboarding boots and gym shoes. For my regular shoes and boots, I decide depending on warmth.

Where do you put your socks right after you take them off?

Either in my laundry bag, or at night, I'll leave socks out beside my bed to wear to the gym the next morning.

Do you wear socks to bed?

Only if camping in the cold. Wearing socks 24/7 irritates the hair on my feet.

Don't you hate it when you're wearing socks and no shoes and you step in a puddle?

Doesn't happen, I'm always wearing shoes, sandals or slippers, unless I'm barefoot.

Have you ever removed stains from your socks?

Nope, nobody sees my socks. Probably wouldn't bother anyway if it was difficult, socks are cheap.

How often do you wash your socks?

After a day of use, or after finishing any strenous activity causing my feet to sweat and necessitating a shower.

Do you have a pet that hides your socks?

No pets.

Where is the weirdest place you've ever found a sock?

Middle of the woods on a mountain, hiking.
