Blue Wool Socks

itsstillmatt · May 5, 2009

I used to wear only blue wool socks, but then I went wild and branched out to crazy colors like gray, maroon and dark green, and even bought some cotton socks. I even bought some patterns. Now, I find that my housekeeper refuses to match and fold them, and that my wife is incompetent, and can't tell the difference between blue and gray, and between wool and cotton, so I end up with mismatched socks in my closet. Since I am far too lazy to match my own socks, I am resigned to returning to a life of only blue wool socks. I know this is extremely important information, and that all of you were wondering, so I figured that I would share.

Bravo.

I like blue socks with small patterns. Often those patterns are gray, sometimes brown. I'm a wild man that way.

Sounds like you need a butler.

Housekeeper?

If you're going to go w/ one color, blue's not bad. I'd probably go with some red/blue/brown heathered blend. Didn't Cary Grant only wear tan socks?

I've fallen in love with the combination of heathered charcoal socks, brown shoes, and dark indigo denim. It's the best.

Actually, I can empathize with you matt, I can't keep track of my socks either. All blue socks seems right up my ally.

Do you really find that navy socks work with all of your pants/shoe combinations?

I do have some khaki casual socks as well, but those cannot possibly be confused with blue. As for whether they work, I almost always wear something that is blue, whether suit, jacket shirt or tie, so the socks match something else I am wearing. I really should have called this thread "the one sock." Damn.

I used to wear only blue cotton socks. I now wear all sorts of colors/materials/etc., but I am beginning to miss the utility of a monochromatic sock drawer.

I feel that you've truly broken the fourth wall with this one.
