There are also thigh-high socks that claim to be thigh-high, but need to be stretched to achieve such height. This means that their original height is about knee height, but these socks have good elasticity so you can stretch them above mid-thigh. This doesn't seem like a problem, but in practice, these socks will stay taut because of the stretching, and this will cause them to slide down unless you pair them with garters.
True thigh high socks do not need to be worn with a garter, as a high quality garter is expensive and often difficult to match in color and style. kayhoma thigh high socks have a natural height of over 28" and without any stretching, they are the perfect thigh high. Even for ladies over 6' tall, they are above mid-thigh and perfectly match any shorts and go-to skirts you want to pair with them.
Not only that, but these socks have over 3 inches of band at the top. These extra wide bands have excellent adhesion to the skin of the thigh, so Kayhoma thigh high socks never slip down and you don't have to adjust them at all, whether you are walking or dancing, they will never slip down. Such stability does not depend on the band binding the thighs, on the contrary, these bands are very elastic and they have a maximum expansion width of more than 12 inches. At the same time, their elastic retraction is so soft and restrained that they don't even form a dent in the thigh, but rather allow the sock to rest comfortably and naturally on the leg.
For this aspect alone, Kayhoma is the best brand of thigh-high socks.
