Odd Socks, Odd Gloves, Umbrellas Without Covers - Prevention and Cures

 I just paired up gloves, and folding umbrellas with covers. I have two covers which match no umbrellas. 
In addition I have 23 odd gloves, several black, a few red, a couple of browns, purples. Mostly knitted types. A couple are leather or fake leather. 

What can I do with them? I have several ideas. 

GLOVES
1) In future, link all gloves with a ribbon as if I were a toddler. 

SOCKS
2 I could do that with socks if I wore trousers. 

GLOVES
3) Hang gloves upside down from a peg board to store pens and paintbrushes. 

SOCKS AND GLOVES
4) Wear odd socks and odd gloves and become a recluse. 

UMBRELLA COVERS
Attach umbrella covers to the umbrella handle with a ribbon.

SOCKS
Have you any suggestions?

WEARING ODD GLOVES
A friend suggests wearing one, keeping the other in your pocket to wear if it gets very cold (or nobody is looking).

 If I'm feeling bashful, I might imply I'm colour blind, or broke my glasses. The rest of my family order six pairs of identical black socks, once every ten years. 

ODD SOCKS COMPANY
There's also an odd socks company. You get two or three pairs, six different patterns of sock, all in rainbow colours.

SCHOOLS
 Schools could do this. If a pupil loses a sock, they just take one out of the 'lost sox box', school colours, all different patterns.
