I think I own a little less than 20 pairs! I've got a few pairs of plain thin ankle, high-ankle, or crew socks just for wearing with shoes when I go out, a few pairs of fuzzy cat-paw themed socks to keep my feet warm when its cold, and several pairs of these super cute stripe-y thigh-high socks that I never actually wear.
This is a fun survey so I counted and I have 37! About 10 pairs of those are dedicated *winter socks* that are intensely warm and only for winter, the rest are normal everyday socks.
Uh. A lot. Because I lose one of the pair and then buy more. I also have socks dedicated just for use in Lolita. Also fluffy socks and winter socks and gym socks and socks for the rain
somewhere near 10 and 20. i have quite a few pairs of fluffy socks but i don't wear them with trainers and such, just around the house so that i retain warmth
i can't count them all, but i have tons of plain black ankle socks meant for wearing out of the house. i assume it's somewhere in the 15-20 pairs range? i have more that have designs on them. and usually, when it gets cold outside, i wear my cutesier or themed socks in the house to help keep me warm!
