I am actually in awe of people who have a whole drawer for socks!! My tights are in my top drawer which has bras, socks, knickers, belts, shoelaces, spare glasses (for my face, not for wine), pyjamas and condoms Grin

TheMythOfFingerprints · 16/09/2018 20:10

I too have a drawer just for tights

DramaAlpaca · 16/09/2018 20:11

My tights live in the socks drawer, on the right side of it to be exact.

Tink1990 · 16/09/2018 20:12

Tights in with socks, knickers in another, bras in another and then my pj drawer Smile

MrsRubyMonday · 16/09/2018 20:13

Bras in the top drawer, pants in the middle, socks and tights below that. Wife and I share, we have half a drawer each for each category. My half of the sock drawer is divided by an imaginary line, socks on the left, tights on the right sort of wedged against the side of the drawer so they don't get muddled with the socks.

Ordinarily they live in the socks drawer, but when I recently bought shitloads more cosy socks there just wasn't any room so they've been chucked in the divan drawer with the bikinis.

emmamehimandthem · 16/09/2018 20:29

Definitely the sock drawer. They’re an alternative to socks

SD1978 · 16/09/2018 20:38

Mine go in with my knickers. Top drawer, pants, vests and tights
Next drawer pyjamas and socks.

VioletCharlotte · 16/09/2018 20:41

I have a separate right drawer. But in the past when I haven't, I've kept them in my sock drawer.

VioletCharlotte · 16/09/2018 20:41

*tights

A towel- so some people think of tights as knickers with legs?

HoneyDragon · 16/09/2018 22:04

Either that or socks with knickers?

Bras in top drawer, knickers in second drawer, socks in third drawer and tights in fourth. Swimsuits go in knicker drawer..

scaryteacher · 16/09/2018 22:09

Mine go in my tights drawers. Knickers in my knicker drawer and socks in my sock bag or box.

BestIsWest · 16/09/2018 22:10

Sock drawer in little Ikea compartments but now I’ve seen this they may go on a hanger.

ThrowThoseCurtainsWide · 16/09/2018 22:20

so some people think of tights as knickers with legs?

This is my very first MN 'spat my tea out' moment it was a mouthful of cake, but seems close enough DDog is looking at me funny Grin

My tights have been sleeping rough since they got evicted last winter. Logically they should live with socks, but then socks procreated and tights didn't fit / it got really tangly and Tights were forced out.

Tights had previously lived with knickers & Bras, but they got 4 balls of wool as roommates last year sometime and everyone is ignoring that they just don't work together.

Tights were offered a room with misc trousers / shorts / leggings, but that was too much like a disorganised squat for their delicate skins. They are now sofa-surfing in amongst the large T-shirts apartment drawer because they have nowhere else to go. They never really get out much these days either. Sometimes a pair jumps out onto the floor just for a ride in the washing machine. It's a sad existence

wikedminx · 16/09/2018 22:22

In my underwear drawer, my socks live in a bag, I dont ever wear a pair Grin , i just pull 2 out that are similar shape and thickness!

RomaineCalm · 16/09/2018 22:53

Tights are taking over the world... ConfusedConfusedConfused

In the tights drawer which has separate compartments for brown, black and navy tights. I can’t be doing with trying to tell black from navy on a cold dark winter morning!

I put the skin tone ones in with the black though, having four compartments would be ridiculous and I’m not likely to mix up black and nude!

DianaBlythe · 16/09/2018 23:02

Romaine I love your system!

BrickByBrick · 16/09/2018 23:10

Sock drawer because you need one or the other.

However I so rarely wear them that they are just shoved in the back of a random drawer.

Allgirlskidsanddogs · 16/09/2018 23:16

OMG I’ve just realised, reading this thread, bra drawer at the top, then knocks and socks at the bottom as per position on the body!

Don’t have enough tights to warrant their own drawer, so they go in with the socks.

Magmatic80 · 16/09/2018 23:27

Mine are in the bra drawer. Logic being, I have more knickers s and socks, so they have a drawer each, and tights need to share with something, so they share the bra drawer. Slips in that drawer too.

UterusUterusGhali · 16/09/2018 23:41

Obviously if you have drawers each it's bras on top then pants then socks. Like they would be on your body. Confused

Now I don't have separate uppy-downy drawers it's left-to-right bra, knickers, socks.
Tbh tights are behind bras as it's a deep drawer.

caoraich · 16/09/2018 23:47

They live in the tights drawer along with the leggings and the very thick socks

It's under the vests drawer

I like the hang tights with dresses idea but I definitely have more dresses than tights and don't like the idea of having to look up all the skirts of a morning to locate the preferred tights.
