Long socks, fold them like this.
There is a perfect method for folding long socks that allows you to save a lot of space in your drawers and allows you to store them in the best possible way. We need to place them in front of us creating the shape of a cross , leaving the front of the sock visible. Then you have to grab the tip of the sock horizontally and fold it inwards. This step must be repeated for each edge of the garment, until we manage to create a kind of small package.
At this point, we need to fold the vertical tip of our sock inwards. It may happen that some flaps stick out which will give this “package” a strange shape. This can be done by folding them inwards and fitting them into the other folds. At this point we have created the perfect package to store in drawers . It may seem complex, but it is easier done than said . Now let’s see how to fold the short ones, i.e. the sports ones.
Here’s how to fold shorts.
Short socks are the ones we lose most often because of their small size. If we fold them correctly we can avoid this problem and keep them more tidy. You should place the two socks on top of each other, keeping the heels clearly visible. We bring the edge of the heels to the side of the hem of the sock, i.e. to its opposite side. At this point, we fold the front part over itself and bring the back part inside the hem of our sock.
That’s it: once this operation is done, our socks will be perfectly organized , together, and losing them will be impossible. Through these little tricks, we can improve our daily life in a small way. First of all, the order that surrounds us also affects our psychological well-being . Then, another no less important advantage is that of avoiding wasting precious time when we have to go out and we are in a hurry. Arriving late and not finding the lost sock can be really annoying.
In addition, knowing how to fold socks properly and store them correctly means you can stop spending too much money on regularly buying new pairs of socks .
