In reality such a perception is a misconception that is completely irrelevant in modern life scenarios. For example, you will find that almost all sports socks today, whether they are long tennis socks or soccer socks, they are very thick, much thicker than ordinary cotton socks. The same is true for short socks, yoga socks, and running socks, where thicker ones are more popular. Including the best selling No show socks in the summer, the highest rated socks are usually thick cotton socks rather than the traditional thin silk ones.
In summer, the temperature indoors, whether at home or at work or in business, is adjusted to a very comfortable temperature and people do not feel the heat. In this case, thicker socks can actually provide better comfort because the room temperature is ideal for medium thickness cotton socks. In hot outdoor conditions, from a practical point of view, any socks are out of place, except for competitions or physical work that has to be done. Thin socks cannot play any easier role in such scenarios in terms of heat dissipation, while thicker socks can protect the feet from being rubbed by shoes or keep them stable among them, even though they may be a bit hot, but protecting the feet and ankles from injury is more important.
There is another important reason that is easily overlooked: thicker socks are usually more reliable than thinner ones. This is why all sports related socks are thicker socks. Tennis and soccer socks are amazingly thick, and almost every athlete relies on these socks to fill the gap between the foot and the shoe, allowing absolute stability below the ankle joint. The reliability of these socks is also amazing, they do not show any holes after a game. The thick socks are also able to trap a lot of sweat and keep the feet dry all the time. In tennis, sweat usually dampens all parts of the player, but their feet must be dry. Only then they may keep moving and playing steadily. Thin tennis socks are unthinkable and they cannot function as they should in such a match.
Of course, thigh high socks are not sports socks, but the principle is the same. Thick thigh high socks offer unparalleled comfort, they are very soft and breathable. They keep you dry even when you are slightly sweating while you are working or walking in these socks. These thick thigh high socks are very reliable, you don't have to be careful with them, they won't tear and they will stay as flexible as new after many washes.
Kayhoma thigh high socks are a completely different kind of socks, they are soft, reliable, a little thick but not particularly thick thigh high socks.
