National Lost Sock Day

May 9, 2026

One stripy sock on its own for National Lost Sock Day

National Lost Sock Day, observed annually on 9th May, is a whimsical occasion dedicated to all those single socks that seem to mysteriously disappear in the laundry. While the phenomenon of lost socks may remain unsolved, this day encourages us to embrace the humour and creativity that arises from the perpetual mystery of missing footwear.

Established as a lighthearted way to acknowledge the universal experience of losing socks, National Lost Sock Day invites us to find joy in the absurdity of everyday life. Whether you blame the dryer or suspect a mischievous sock thief, this day is an opportunity to celebrate the quirks and idiosyncrasies that make us human.

To commemorate National Lost Sock Day on your social media and digital platforms, here are some content ideas:

  • Share amusing anecdotes or memes about lost socks to bring a smile to your followers’ faces.
  • Host a virtual “Lost Sock Exchange” where participants can swap mismatched socks or share creative ways to repurpose single socks.
  • Organise a scavenger hunt or contest to find the most unusual places where lost socks have been discovered.
  • Encourage followers to donate spare socks to homeless shelters or textile recycling programs to give purpose to those lonely singles.
