Tights and socks are essential for winter footwear. As you casually buy more and more of them, do you find that they keep piling up and you can no longer keep track of them?

My socks, which I just decide where to store them for
the time being
and then put them in a pile without thinking about it, keep multiplying without me really knowing what and how many I have. I am getting tired of rushing to take them out every morning, so I tried to find a clever way to store them.

First, I grasped the current situation, and then I boldly disposed of the ones I don't wear.

This time, I referred to the "sock and tights storage method" proposed by the women's sock and innerwear store " Tutu Anna ".

First, gather everything you have and check to see if two pairs do not match or if they are damaged. Sort them into "need," "don't need," and "lost" categories. If there are items that are "lost" and have not been used for more than a year, such as socks that you bought at first sight but found surprisingly hard to match, take the plunge and get rid of them.

Furthermore, categorize "what you need" in detail by item and frequency of use. The author categorized them into foot covers needed for pumps, short socks needed for sneakers, and other socks/tights.

It is said that it is convenient to choose one place to store them. The author uses an entire chest. If you have a large amount of clothes, divide them by season.

Once you have decided on a storage location, it's time to start storing!

Tights should be rolled up.

Fold tights in half, roll them up and store them upright. It is easier to select tights if they are roughly grouped by denier, color, pattern, etc.

Don't throw away the "base" of the foot cover!

If you keep the backing paper that comes with the foot cover when you buy it, you can easily take it out and store it neatly. I see, I always used to throw them away first, but this way they don't fall apart and you save a lot of space.

I also learned that tying tights or folding back the elastic at the mouth of socks is not a good idea, as it stretches the fabric.

Note that this is a common practice.

I had to separate the tights because they didn't fit in the same place, but when I tried it this way, I was surprised to see that they all fit and there was still room (some summer items were separated). I was so impressed with the way everything fit together and there was still room to spare (some of the summer items were separated).

Once you put everything away, you don't have to take it in and out every day, which saves you time in getting ready and putting things away. Please give it a try when you have time!
