my mess

The answer, one would think, would be to buy all one colour. This doesn't work! They stay the same colour, but from being identical, they change shape, size and even material.

Tube socks aren't even the answer, they do stretch into becoming a dedicated left or right sock.
Although you can reform a right sock into a left if it's not too late.

I have a lot of left socks that used to be right.
