Many buy socks because they found a cute pattern, or saw a bargain price. Give a little more thought when choosing socks, and you will save both time and money. Buy all your socks in one color because:

• Pairing them is easy… You actually don't have to pair them at all. Just toss them in a drawer. Even if it's dark, you will find a matching pair. 🙂

• Washing them is easy. They all go in the same color wash.

• If you get a hole in one, or it's lost, you can pair the remaining one with any of your other socks.

• If you buy many at once, you can often get a reduced price.

• If the brand you usually buy isn't available, you can find the same color of another brand. That is much harder with your usual flowery sock patterns. 😀

Here's a piece of bonus advice: Go with black or grey socks. They match with anything. You save time not having to choose a color that goes with your clothes.

Bonus advice 2: Wool socks all year round. In winter they are warm. In summer, they transport moisture away from your feet, so you don't feel sweaty.
