The Basic Fold

This is a quick and easy way to fold your socks. Lay them flat and then fold in half so they look like a rectangle. Then, fold in each side so that it resembles a square. Finally, roll up the sock from one end to the other, starting with one long side. This will create one neat stack of six socks.

The Accordion

Take an old shoelace, ribbon or elastic band (or anything similar) and tie a knot on each end. Put one around your toe area, then take the other over your foot and pull up so it meets with the first one on top of your toe area. They should be snug but not tight. Then wrap them around both toes, then go back under both feet and meet back up again at the heel. Tie another knot on each side, making sure they are tight enough so they don't come undone.

The Fancy Fold

Ever wonder how some people always seem to have their socks in order? It's not a magic trick. There are a few creative ways you can fold your socks so they're ready for use. The Fancy Fold is one way that has been popularized by American actress, model, producer and businesswoman Tyra Banks. This method is best for dress socks or crew socks with wider tops; it also works well with ankle socks if they have thin tops. To do this, take your sock and hold it upright so the toe is on top and the heel is at the bottom. Hold both ends together and fold one end over the other towards you like in a bundle, then tuck them under each other before folding them in half again, so now you have four layers instead of two.
