In the category of thigh high socks, the most complained about issue is the length of the socks. Many socks that claim to be thigh high are actually only knee high and they are not really thigh high socks at all. They are socks, and they are long socks, but they are not thigh high, so it is difficult to wear them with different styles of dresses or boots because they are shorter than you would expect, and it is difficult to stretch them to thigh height because even though they are very stretchy, overstretching them will cause them to retract just as sharply, so they will soon slide down to the knee, or even all the way down to the ankle! .
Another particularly glaring problem is that these socks are too tight. When they are knee-high, they may be the right width, because the knee part is not much thicker than the calf. But just that width is too tight for the mid-thigh. Especially for the band at the top of the sock, those bands with an original width of 1″-2″ become a thin rope after being expanded, they are too tight for the mid-thigh and they can easily cut into the skin, leaving a deep indentation, and in severe cases they can even cut off blood circulation.
High quality thigh high socks are true thigh high, their natural height is greater than 26" from the bottom of the foot to the top of the sock, so these socks can easily rise above mid-thigh, with no stretching at all. Such a height is mid-thigh height even for girls who are 6' tall, so these socks can easily be worn with any skirt and boots you want. Since the natural height of these socks is so high, you don't have to stretch them and they won't slip. Yes, garters are not necessary for these high quality thigh high socks because these socks will not slide down, even if you stand or walk all day.
High quality thigh high socks have great elasticity and they also have a maximum width of over 12 inches. This means that they will fit most thigh widths, even for muscular thighs, and they still leave room to spare. For example, Kayhoma thigh high socks have a 3" wide band at the top, these bands have excellent elasticity and they stay on the thigh in a very comfortable way, they don't cut into the skin and they don't slide down, not only that but thanks to their excellent elasticity and comfortable band, they have the ability to stop at any height of the thigh and match all lengths of skirts and boots.
This is why Kayhoma is the best brand of thigh high socks.
