The 5 Best Ways to Fold Your Socks for a sock subscription Service

How you fold your socks may not seem like the most important thing in your life, but if you’re planning on subscribing to a sock of the month service, it makes sense to know the best ways to fold your socks so they don’t get wrinkled and smelly. This list of five great ways to fold your socks, based on some of our favorite sock subscription services, will help you maximize the time you spend wearing them instead of folding them.

1) Method One: The Simple Fold

Fold the sock like you would fold a pair of pants. This method is best when you want your socks easily accessible and are not as worried about preserving creases. The simple fold can be used on any type of sock, but is especially popular with crew socks or ankle socks that are typically folded into thirds. To do this, lay the sock down so that the toe end of the sock is at the bottom edge and the heel end of the sock is at the top edge. Then fold in each side until they overlap in the middle and you have a neat, flat pile.

2) Method Two: The Bundled Fold

This method is great because it's one of the easiest ways to fold your socks and it doesn't take up much space in your drawer. If you have a lot of sock pairs, this is an ideal way to store them.
- Take one sock and fold it into thirds, matching the heel seam with the toe seam. - Now place that first sock on top of the second sock and fold them together like an accordion. - The two socks are now touching in three places: at the heel, halfway up, and at the toe. This will create a bundle. - Repeat with all your other socks!

3) Method Three: The Ballerina Fold

Ballerina fold is where you fold your socks in half lengthwise and then roll them up. If you're looking to make something more fun, you can also do this with brightly colored socks and create a little ballerina on your dresser.
#5 The Cross-Fold (four sentences) If the Ballerina fold is too small, try the Cross-fold. Instead of just folding the sock in half once, cross it over itself in two sections. Twist one side over the other and then repeat until it's tight enough that it won't unravel.

4) Method Four: The Burrito Fold

The first and most common method is the Burrito Fold. Simply lay your sock out flat, fold it in half lengthwise (right-sides together), fold it in half again widthwise, and then roll up your socks like a burrito. This method is great because you can fit two socks in one sock space! You can also use this method if you are packing light and need to fill all of your sock space.

5) Method Five: The Japanese Fold

This method is perfect if you want your socks to stay organized while they're not in use. It's easy, too: just pick up the sock from one end and fold it over so that the heel rests on top of the other end. Now, fold the sock in half and tuck the edges in between each other, pulling them out slightly until it looks like an accordion. Finally, secure the folded sock with a rubber band or hair elastic. If you have more than one pair of socks that need folding, then make sure you stack them on top of each other before securing them with a rubber band or hair elastic.
