I delighted my little cousins one Christmas with socks from “Little Miss Match “. Three socks of similar but not matching designs. Bought a couple pairs myself.

3. I have an adult son on the spectrum and when he comes home he's always wearing mismatched socks.

I use the same tactic 20 pairs of the same black socks and the washer and dryer can eat them to their hearts content and it won't phase me... LOL

10. Koz, this is the lounge - and my post was meant as light hearted and humorous

Throwing on a pair of mismatching socks is so commonplace - as to almost warrant no notice. And if it were to be noticed (as my post fleshed out) - these days it could only be taken as 'fashion statement' rather than blunder.

Sorry you're fretting over this - you really shouldn't. It's all good. Really!
