In order to avoid the effort of pairing socks, I once had the genius idea of buying them all the same colors. Then all hell broke loose as the color may be the same, but they were from different pairs still and so became more difficult to pair: you will lose an individual sock but not a pair.
I stopped losing socks as I began buying them in bright colors so pairs where trivial to spot in all the sock journey during laundry.
