Having a clear out of socks as I've realised we never really got rid of old socks when buying new ones

Now I have more socks than realistically anyone needs😂

How many school and non school per season per child would you keep?

10 pairs each, a mixture of school and other.

Definitely more than that!
At least 10 pairs of school socks, we might not do a white wash each week.
Enough coloured socks to get through a 2 week holiday.

Also more than that! About 10 pairs of mufti socks plus about 7 pairs of school socks. Basically a week and a bit of both term time and holiday mode.

Plus school games socks, trampoline park socks, about 3 pairs of fluffy bedsocks. It adds up.

Lots! I’d say 8 pairs of school socks, and then heaps of fun socks! Normal “fun” socks, fluffy pairs for bedtime; welly socks; thicker socks for sports; little trainer socks; football socks; trampoline socks…. Probably 20 pairs.

One of them has none. She hasn't worn socks for years. One has 7/8 pairs and the other has about 40 - all character/pretty

What are mufti socks

BlackCatsAreBrilliant · 19/02/2025 11:46

Probably about 10 pairs. Plus about 20 odd socks I'm holding onto in the misguided hope that their partners turn up one day.

OwlsDance · 19/02/2025 11:49

About 10 pairs for school, another 10 or so for non school, and then another 5-10 pairs of trainer socks in summer

IAmNeverThePerson · 19/02/2025 11:58

5 pairs home 5 pairs school

Sorry, home/non school socks. Boarding school word.

One of my children completely refuses to wear school socks on a non school day.

BeachRide · 19/02/2025 12:43

Always an odd number ...

Notgivenuphope · 19/02/2025 12:43

This would be a massively hypocritical one for me - my own drawer is sock city! Socks for all occasions… work socks, black socks, patterned socks, tights socks, running socks, slipper socks…. 🤣🤣🤣
