I do this with socks. Mostly because I hate taking the time to match socks when I'm doing laundry. And when I inevitably lose a sock I'm not left with one sock that doesn't match any other sock.
Me too! The only bummer is when they all wear out at the same time and you have to buy 2 dozen socks at once. I'm at that stage right now, which is only a drag because I bought shitty socks last time and need to find a new brand.
I hear that. I just bought a bunch of Darn Tough stocks. I'm hoping they hold up for as long as I hear they do. I wear out socks really fast!
Expensive but worth it.
I love them. They fit well and feel and look nice.
One thing you can do with quality stuff is to just buy one or two every month (or however much you can afford). Assuming it's good quality and holds up, you'll have a good amount after a year or so. I do this with underwear as well.
Oh, you reminded me what I need to get my brother for Xmas.
What brand socks do you buy?
One time I bought Calvin Klien and they were pretty good. This time I think I got Mark's Work wear house brand and they were crap. I used to buy one pack to see if I liked them but this time I bought a bunch and got burnt.
My friends kids all just wear mismatched socks. Apparently that's the thing to do these days.
