Consider the Calvin Trillin lost sock theory when making your decision:

Put the odd socks in a bag and say to yourself “I’ll pair them up when I have a sort or get through the rest of the washing” Then put the bag in the wardrobe and forget about it for a year or so.

Every one you throw away creates two new odd socks in their place. Multiple pairs of the same socks is the only answer.Every one you throw away creates two new odd socks in their place. Multiple pairs of the same socks is the only answer.

Chuck them and replace them with a box of these.

Chuck ALL your socks and buy 12-15 identical pairs for each person. Sock matching problems over for life.

Keep. As soon as they’re disposed of beyond reach, the matching socks show up.

I use mine for taking my nail polish off (the rare times I find time to paint my nails). Random I know.
