Immensely boring sock thread

I have trouble with socks in lots of ways, mostly losing them. So every few years I throw away all my remaining socks and buy lots of pairs all the same. (I remember someone saying on another thread that she has never lost as sock, was it Moondog? Pah!)

The last time I did this I bought Next socks with coloured toes/heels and I was very happy with them, but about a year ago I bought a pack of 5 to try and put off the inevitable throwing away and starting again and I thought the quality had gone down. Also since I first bought them my dh has bought similar socks and gets confused between mine and his so I want something distinctive.

So who does good quality socks, mostly cotton but with a good stretch, in colours/patterns that no man would be seen dead in, but not so cute that I would be embarrassed? Preferably an on-line retailer please.

(I know I'm middle-aged now that I'm concerned about socks , also I saw a sexy bra advert this morning and my first thought was 'That just doesn't look comfortable'.)

Thanks in advance.

Sorry! I'll try to think when I've finished laughing!

As I suspected, this is too boring for anyone even get past the opening paragraph. I can't say I blame you, but I give you all fair warning that unless I find something better I will be buying at least 18 pairs of these stripy socks (bottom row, 4th from right). Then you'll be sorry!

I am not keen on the rest of the clothes but I love my socks .

Which ones do you have trice? The stripy boot socks look pretty good, and they're they only ones that are natural fibres but I'm slightly worried that only 1% elastane might mean that the will get a bit saggy after a while. The Nora Batty look is not a good one for me.
