When do your socks start to fade?
Faded flowers end up in the compost. Sour milk goes down the drain. And old socks? Faded, colorless and bobbly ones?
They normally end up back on our feet. Because people don't think that socks have an expiration date too. But there comes a time when you need to clear even your super-comfy favorite socks out of the drawer.
Put them on or chuck them out? Following are a few stages in the life of a sock which should make this decision easier for you.
Just arrived ->
As if freshly plucked
You don’t get any fresher than this: your new socks have arrived!
Worn through ->
They love me, they love me not ...
When a flower loses its petals, it's the beginning of the end.
How old are my socks?
Worn in ->
In full bloom
After a little time on your feet and a few rounds in the washing machine, the socks start to blossom.
Failed ->
When they start getting thin
A flower which is nothing but a stalk and thus has little more to offer.
How do I care for my socks?
Worn often ->
The odd touch of grey
Tight shoes, hot washes, sweaty skin - your socks have to put up with a lot.
And gone ->
Time to say goodbye
Are you one of those people who dry faded flowers and then put them up in your home?
How can I get rid of my socks?
