Thigh highs are limitless when it comes to style and beauty, but they do have one boundary: how far they'll go on your lovely legs. There comes a time for every first-time stocking wearer, sometime between putting your foot into the toe of your stocking and straightening the material over your leg until your thigh, where the question arises: How far should my thigh highs go? Of course, you don't want them too high or too low - you want them just right. So, where is this sweet spot? Believe it or not, the secret is contained within your thigh highs.

However, since thigh highs can't speak, we thought we'd be their voice! Here's what thigh highs would say if you asked them, "how far do you go?" So...

How high up should thigh highs go?

When stepping into your thigh highs, one fast, simple, and reliable method will help you determine where your thigh high band should lie every time. Place your hand at the top of your inner thigh with your pinky finger on the bottom. Make a mental note of where your pinky finger sits on your leg: that's where the top of your thigh highs should reach.

How to Know When Your Thigh Highs Have Had Enough?

Believe it or not, they'll let you know themselves. Thigh highs are adept at employing the "please don't pull me any further" method. Once you feel even a slight tug back while pulling your thigh highs up, it's time to stop. Applying pressure to your thigh highs can stretch the fabric, causing the fibers to weaken and become loose over time - and that's the last thing we want.

So, How do you Wear the Band Properly?

Ideally, your stocking band should be tucked away underneath your pencil skirt or dress. Wherever your hemline ends, your thigh highs should start (or above that!) The aim is to keep it hidden away even as you walk, strut, dance, etc.

But we digress...

In the fashion world, there are no hard-set rules. If you want to make a statement and let the band show, then more power to you! We know you'll look absolutely fabulous no matter what. But if you want to get it right every time, we suggest you treat yourself to a crash course on the art of tasteful stockings so that you can look effortlessly divine always.
