Thigh High Socks
While upon first glance, many people do not know
how to wear a pair of thigh-high socks, there are actually a number of different ways to use this
less common style of sock. One popular way, particularly among young women, is paired with a mini
skirt or pair of short shorts.
The thigh-high socks come up to just below the hem
of the skirt or shorts, resulting in only a small amount of leg showing. Another benefit of wearing
this skirt or shorts and thigh-high socks combination is that it keeps the wearer much warmer in
colder months than she otherwise would be without the socks keeping her legs warm.

Thigh-high socks come in countless different styles and colors.
The most basic, of course, is a simple style made of a material such as thin cotton socks, in a color like black, navy, or grey.
However, many people prefer more colorful styles.
One popular design is stripes that alternate colors. They can also
be made from thin material and require a garter to hold them up. Thigh-high socks come in polka dots, can be
printed with hearts, shamrocks, and rainbows, and can feature lace or ruffles.
Thigh-high socks are a bit more elusive than other styles of socks
and can be a little more difficult to locate in a regular bricks-and-mortar store. However, some larger department
stores, such as Macy’s and Dillard’s, may have a selection of thigh-high socks in both their women’s sock
department and in the Juniors section.
Stores such as Target and Wal-Mart also are likely to carry at
least a small selection of thigh-high socks. Another good place to look for thigh-high socks is in novelty and
accessory stores such as Claire’s Accessories and Icing, however, if you are looking for plain socks in simple
colors, you may not find what you are looking for as these stores tend to carry brightly-colored and
interestingly-patterned socks for teenagers.
The Internet is a great option if you are looking for a particular
style of thigh-high socks or if you cannot find what you are looking for in a traditional store. To locate
retailers that sell thigh-high socks on the Internet, do an online search for “thigh-high socks” and the results
will list many places from which you can purchase them. Online stores often offer free shipping to new customers or
when you spend a particular amount of money on the site, so look for promotions like this in order to save on
shipping costs when ordering online.
