I bought about 30 pairs of the same gray socks and 30 pairs of the same black boxer briefs. It's so nice never having to match socks, or worry about running out of them or clean underwear to wear. They're small items, so they don't take up much space.
In regard to pants/shirts, I'm still on a mission to find basic t-shirts that don't get messed up after many washings. I think pima cotton is the way to go for this (currently, I'm buying my shirts from aether. not cheap, but the quality is great). I have about 10 of the same black shirt (and one red, one blue and one white... just to mix it up a bit when I'm feeling "crazy").
Shoes... I have 3 pairs of black high-tops from Tom's. They are comfortable, can pass in dress-up situations, and cover my heels.
Long story short, I don't really think about what I wear anymore or spend anytime going through that mental process in the morning/evening. Some of my friends think I'm a bit weird, but I'm glad I did it!

My kind of man, I know exactly where you're coming from with this. My sock wardrobe is black socks, white socks and that's it. Never understate the importance of taking care to how you are presented, but at the same time I'm not going to drive myself batty just trying to put together a wardrobe that requires maintenance just finding something.
