mismatched socks
Feet wearing different
Mismatched socks are socks that don't match each other—different colors, patterns, or styles worn together.
Once considered a sign of absent-mindedness or poor grooming, deliberately mismatched socks became a minor fashion statement: She wears mismatched socks on purpose.
The phrase sometimes describes any pairing of incompatible things.
