Going back to socks - buy in bulk!
If every sock you own is the same brand and make and age you can pair them with impunity.

How do I know this? I used to work for Dr Solomn's Software (RIP) and we would throw out socks at conventions. The tag? Dr Solomon's Blows Your Socks Off. Really - IT Managers on £60k+ would scramble for them. I was wearing mine (mostly honestly obtained - hey - I was a slim but buxom blonde in those days, did they want me on the stand knowing the product? Hell, yes!) for about 5 years. They outlasted my marriage.

They were hardly designer socks. Just that if'n I kept my toenails trimmed they lasted. And always, always, always matched. And when the ones at the front of the drawer needed to retire, those at the back could take their place.
