Socks... We all wear them. Each and every week we must wash, pair and replace these simple piece of clothing within our closets. Throughout the years I have accumulated different brands different cuts and different colours. All are used for different events and are kept for different reasons. Different, different, different. I am tired of trying to match and pair all of these socks, let alone choose which ones to wear in the morning.
The solution is quite simple; declare sock bankruptcy! I have decided to throw out all of my socks and start over. But I think you have to restructure the system or else it is just a matter of time before you are bankrupt again... Maybe even from having to throw away and buy new socks too often.
I can solve everything with two types: black tube socks and white ankle socks. Black tube socks for work, the office, social events and pretty much everything you might wear pants too. White ankle socks for anything athletic or wearing shorts. It's simple! You pair white with white, black with black, and the choice of which to wear is made for you. The next trick is to go out and buy a style and brand that does not change very often and will not be going anywhere anytime soon. Of course you also need enough to get you to your next laundry day, but some extra for those lazy weeks. Don't forget that one or two special dress pair to go with my suits.
One less decision everyday, sock shopping is just simply replacing worn stock, and laundry is almost on autopilot. Life just got a little more simple. Sock bankruptcy could be your next waypoint on your map to minimalism. How do you currently deal with your sock accounts?
