5) Decorating your socks will make them last longer
Whether you like them ankle-high or knee-high, there’s no denying that socks get frayed around their edges. While some people choose to toss their old socks after they show signs of wear and tear, there are simple ways you can get a few more uses out of them. Decorating your socks is one great way to extend their life and give them new flair in style—and it’s super easy. When you find cool socks, don’t just throw them in your drawer: Try tying knots, wrapping threads around buttons or pipe cleaners, or adding beads for decorative flair. Or go low tech with rubber bands and simply scrunch up the ends of your sock so they stay in place—no sewing necessary!
6) Developing a routine where you keep your things organized
Getting your items organized doesn’t have to be complicated—just develop a routine where you put things away in their proper place every time you’re done using them. It can help to create a space in each room of your house where things that get used regularly get stored—like shoes and jackets in an entryway closet or pots and pans in a kitchen cabinet. But it’s not just about putting things away neatly; make sure you clean up as soon as you finish doing whatever it is you were doing with that item. If you want cool socks, keep them looking great for longer than one wear by storing them correctly and keeping them well-maintained. It's simple, but we know from experience that it works! At least we hope so!
7) Get into the habit of switching out older pairs with new ones
Whether you’re staying at a hotel or moving around frequently, it can be tricky to keep your favorite socks paired up. You could buy them in pairs, but what if they lose their match? For one thing, that’s inefficient. But more importantly, missing socks are both an annoyance and a safety hazard—they often end up underfoot. To prevent mismatched underwear disasters and create a stress-free packing experience, switch out older pairs with new ones while you travel so they don’t become separated by accident. If you get good at it (which is easy because there are only 8 pairs of socks), it will also save space in your suitcase for other important things like shoes!
8) Keep things playful by mixing up different styles
There are plenty of ways to fold socks—and there’s no right or wrong way. Still, if you’re trying to get your linens organized, it might be helpful to establish a uniform system so everything has its place. Some people like simple, classic sock folding styles that use only one or two steps. Others take sock-folding more seriously and get a little more creative with things. It all comes down to what works for you!
