We have a good bit of closet space and storage elsewhere, so our 5 drawer dresser only holds undershirts, underwear, socks and my pajamas.
You're not seeing things. The drawer pulls are all different. Just one of the 53 projects I have going on. Don't worry about it, ok? Also, don't worry about the fact that one of the only five dresser drawers that we have is JAM PACKED with my pajamas. I have priorities. See previous Robe post.
It's very important to keep black and blue dress socks separated, so we keep those in two separate drawers. Sometimes when rolling these socks, I have to move to a room with really good light, or grab something I know is black to be able to compare the colors. I'm not colorblind, but sometimes it's hard to tell for sure whether they're black or navy!I usually start at the elastic top, and roll toward the toes.
I keep my socks, underwear and tights all in the same drawer. I got this big cloth organizer somewhere for very cheap, but here is a sample of something similar. I also have two of the cheaper plastic rectangles in there. I roll up all my socks and tights, and only fold over athletic socks. I took my underwear out of the drawer before I took a picture. You're welcome.
This is how I roll up those tiny lil undies.
I have another of the plastic organizers to the left, and that middle box is the bottom part of a Melissa and Doug floor puzzle. Use what fits your space! And if it happens to be free, even better!!
Last up, I do not roll up the little boys' socks. I fold them up together like most people traditionally fold socks. They each have a $1 plastic bin in the top of their closets. Out of their reach!
Here are some other great ideas for drawer organization.

If you have socks with holes, if you have 14 pairs of the same sock, if you haven't worn a pair of
socks in 3 years -- toss them in the dusting rag pile, go dust some ceiling fans, and throw those suckers out! Every so often, all of our underwear needs to be reevaluated. Throw out ones that look gross or make you feel gross, or if you cannot remember the last time you purchased unmentionables for yourself, budget in some new undies. And have a great day!

People love the appeal of custom made products. OEM sock designs are excellent options for people, but the problem is that sometimes designs get messed up in translation when the manufacturers get the designs. baby kids socks online
