How to keep the sock drawer under control
Short answer: Buy all everyday socks in the same model and colour. Then you never have to pair them, and one hole does not cost the whole pair.
Identical socks save time every morning
With ten identical pairs you simply take two socks. It sounds small, but it is five minutes a week. See bamboo socks for men.
Do not roll, lay flat
Rolling socks into each other stretches the cuff. Lay them flat on top of each other instead. See bamboo socks for women.
Divide the drawer
Keep everyday socks, thin socks and sports socks in three separate areas. See bamboo trainer socks for men.
