Fun Question: What type of socks do you wear? And color (s)? 😄

[Jules]

Black ankle socks in the cold weather. No socks when it’s warm.

I do have a couple of pairs of heavy, grey socks in case the weather is really cold. Also some nylon knee highs for use with shoes at dressier events. Nylons if wearing a dressier dress.

My husband is the guy with socks with his sandals. He says it’s probably better than viewing his feet.

I wear diabetic ankle socks, not because I'm diabetic but because the tops do not constrict my thick ankles. They only seem to come in two colours for my size - white or black.

I know about those ankle constructing socks. I had to switch too.

I have a bundle of nylon knee highs! I guess at the time I wore them but rarely any more.

3 dresser drawers! I've gotten rid of a lot too especially single ones that I haven't been able to find the other for a year or so!

This definitely could make a different thread topic, but Not sure how many might chime in.

What to do with the leftover socks?

Besides the obvious; make puppets!

Or if extremely comfy, match them into creative pairs.

Once I stepped into a slight water puddle in my kitchen, and got one sock wet.
I was getting ready to go out and short on time, so i only changed the wet sock.

It was surprisingly fine. No one yelled at me from across a street; I didn't get arrested.
So i learned that such a wild thing could be done, without negative consequence.

I only have solid black and solid white. When I wear dark pants, it's black socks; light pants, white socks.

I too gave up the endless sock matching game many years go. I buy 10 pairs of white socks and 10 pairs of black. When enough of them have holes or are showing wear, I toss them all and start over again.

Hang onto them, Christmas is coming!

I really never thought of that but it's a good idea and others may start to do that too

If I retained fluid socks left an indentation. I switched to the low ones they once called peds. They are all black and hide in my black shoes.

Maybe I will hang some outside the window for the critters and birds out there. There's nobody else here but me.

i use my old panty hose and knee highs to tie up plants when having to stake them.

I'm glad to see you, on any thread, today.

Great idea. That sounds like fun.

None in warm weather and white compression calf-length in cooler weather.

I have black socks and white socks - the black socks are for wearing under jeans/trousers and the white socks are sports socks for wearing with shorts or half length leggings when running or playing sports

I do match my socks into pairs, they are black but not the same, for example.with different colour writing underneath

My son only wears socks with long trousers, he just buys all plain black socks, no pairing them up just grab any two out the drawer, cant tell the difference under trousers anyway

I wear fun socks. I have dogs, cats, hedgehogs, books, sewing machines, crazy colors…

I wear these when I go to the doctor. I show them to her when she asks how I’m doing:

The title of this being a fun thread made me smile, reason being that in my working life I paid as much attention to the accoutrements as I did the suit. Matching socks to your trousers creates a seamless and unbroken visual line, which is a professional look. This approach was essential for business meetings.
My choice was, and still is, Argyle socks with a diamond pattern:
