Matching socks--out. Coordinated socks--in.

An American company has determined what experienced mothers have known for a long time: Matching socks are not a fashion priority. In fact, it's more fashionable to have mismatched (but coordinating) socks--sold in threes instead of in pairs.

I guess I won't have to complain about this anymore.

An impressive gimmick. I wish I had thought of it. But I suppose you can't put one sock from one set of three with another set. Can you imagine trying to sort these in the laundry?
