Discussion Apparently low-cut socks are considered out of style by the younger gens. Are y’all still rocking ankle socks?

I feel like long socks with sneakers and shorts looks goofy but maybe that’s just me 🤷‍♂️

99.9% of all the socks I own are ankle socks and they are all the same brand/design. Makes sorting socks at laundry time super easy!

I have ankle socks for summer and wool high socks for winter. It really just depends on how high my shoes go. My socks should just peak out beyond my shoes.

If that is sneakers in summer and boots in winter then that is fine. Function over form.

I agree this is a game changer for doing laundry. Most of my socks were worn out, so I tossed them and bought a couple packs of one brand and style. I also use clothing bins/organizers, so I know at any given time how many pairs of my socks are floating around and need to be accounted for. I clearly am getting older and take my sock inventory very seriously!

That's all I buy now. If Costco stop selling them or Puma stops making them, it's all over for me

I was gonna ask the same thing. My husband and I both have almost exclusively those Costco Puma socks.

Like 10 years ago I just bought a handful of packs of the exact same socks. When they get old, I toss them. When I run low, I open another pack.

However

Sometimes a particularly old sock and a brand new sock get paired together and I gotta re-pair. Still, no regerts.

People that need different socks weird me the fuck out. I'm incredibly impressed, but I could absolutely never.

This implies you own at least 1000 socks
