No.

I'd wish all my socks were the same.

No, but you should ideally have more the one color. Fashion rules are your socks are supposed to be one shade darker than your pants, except obviously for black.

I've started wearing all-black socks recently and I've gotta say it's just nicer than gym socks every day.

actually it's BETTER not to fold them. Folding them wears out the elastic faster.

Yeah, my pants legs are long and my socks are low cuts. So theres virtually no way anyone can figure out the color of my socks.

That's what I thought, too.

I don't have more than one pair of the same colored socks and they all just get tossed in a drawer.

I'd rather shorten the lifespan of my socks by a few days (really) than have a disorderly sock drawer.

you could always just stack them, since stacks of socks fit neater in a drawer then balls.

I stack them too. It saves time. Albeit only a second or two.. but I would go insane if I had to keep popping open those god damn sockballs.

I find it also takes up less space, but it all depends on how you have your drawer arranged I guess. I go with the "stuff things in and hope it fits" approach. With all things. ¬_¬

Eh, the fashion rules on socks are odd. I've more often heard you match the color to your shoes first and pants second, but if you have casual shoes then you always go with white socks.

I don't get how white socks are not acceptable when you're wearing jeans, a tshirt, and running shoes.

edit: if your socks are visible then you are wearing shorts and that's supposed to be unacceptable as an adult, too

White socks are fine for casual or athletic wear; basically any situation that allows sneakers allows white socks. Dress shoes, which are typically either black or brown, should be accompanied by matching socks (equal or slightly darker shade, as already stated). I don't know the proper sandal sock etiquette, since I don't wear socks with sandals.

It's not even a matter of fashion. Not wearing white socks inappropriately is simply a matter of not looking like a clown.

About 60% of my socks are navy. But every pair is a slightly different shade of it--so yes, you do need to fold them, else you end up with a whole bunch of odd socks that are difficult to pair.

every man should have white and neutral color socks in their wardrobe

pvednes is right, you WILL look like a fucking clown if you're wearing white socks with certain dress

face the facts Gains, you'll have to bite the bullet and buy some black/navy blue/neutral colors eventually

p.s. everyone who's saying "hurr if you're trying to attract women with the color of your socks you're don't something wrong" is stupid. Women DO notice these things and they DO add up. But I can't count on a forum of geeky guys to know these things. count on the English, Australians, and a Post-Op to get it right

I got black socks...7 pairs with all the days of the week stitched into them. They make me laugh. I've had a few instances where I've crossed my legs and my pant legged pulled up so you can see them.

People comment and laugh. Girlfriend finds it hilarious when I forget what day it is and wear the wrong pair.

Why would I wear anything but white socks when I nearly exclusively wear jeans?

On the rare occasions I do dress up, I bust out my 1 (one) pair of black socks.

The real world is going to destroy me.

p.s. I bet you sock-folders fold your underwear too. Waste of time if you ask me, it's not like anyone can see the wrinkle across your ass.
