Whether you, too, lose your socks or you just like to buy in bulk to save time or money, I curated a list of some of the highest-rated socks on Amazon. We got options for men and women as well as unisex options in all styles of socks. When it comes to things you wear every day — that also take a beating the way socks do — why buy one pair when you can buy four? Or heck, ten.

I'm a little picky about socks, and thankfully I've found a set that feels good on my toes and fits in my budget. They're a perfect thickness that keeps my feet comfortable in boots or when working out but still can be worn with loafers or dressier shoes. I love the different patterns and truly find them so easy to wear every single darn day. I sometimes even just wear them around my house when my feet are cold because they're so comfy. These come in five color options and in women's sizes 6–9 and 8–12. I wear a solid 9.5 and find the 6–9 to fit great but the 8–12 were a little too roomy for me.

Promising review: "I love the feel and cushioning of these socks. No issue with slipping inside the shoes like I have with synthetic socks. I sweat a lot and in humid conditions they don't wick the moisture quickly enough. I end up in soaking wet socks in these conditions after a long run. However, I haven't found socks that handle such conditions better, including very pricey running socks." —Amazon Customer
