do people just throw away both socks off a pair when one of them has a hole? That just seems wasteful. also I think we should distinguish between wearing different color socks and wearing different model but same color socks.

People can wear what they want, leave them the fuck alone.

you can now buy sets of mismatched socks, which is ludicrous.

I used to do this with black ankle socks and it became harder and harder finding a pair in among a drawer of nearly-identical black socks all with slightly different lengths of cuff or different levels of fadedness or glossiness or elasticity etc; not that I imagine anyone would ever have looked that closely, but it triggered a strange compulsion all the same
I just came out of something like this. "I hate sorting socks! I'll just buy black Hanes for everything. Problem solved." But then over the years, the company made small changes to their sizes and styles and yeah, some got worn more than others. Then my son decided HE only wanted to wear black Hanes socks, so the laundry was full of socks one size below mine. It became infuriating.

I wore mismatched black Nike sneaks the other day. Oops.
