The Options You Have with Thigh High Socks

0 Comments | Rating: 0 | |

Garter belts and thigh high stockings go back a very, very long time; to the mid to late 1500s. Fashion has always played a role in society, but I'm not sure that 'fun' was really a part of the plan back then. Today's thigh high socks however, are a very different story. You can find all kinds of fun, playful, sexy and different styles, prints and patterns available for women of all ages, sizes and styles.

For example, you can find thigh high fish net stockings that are highly suggestive, and you can find variations on that theme that, while still sexy, offer more warmth and protection from the elements than you might otherwise suspect. You can find thigh highs with long, seductive seams running up the back of your leg and you can choose whether to use a garter belt to hold them up or to have self securing elastic bands at the top of the socks to keep things in place. Either option will work, but different approaches may work better for different people or different situations.

Garter belts certainly offer a certain look to any outfit, so you might choose to go that route for the effect more than anything else. If you do, know that garters come with either 4 or 6 straps with metal clasps at the end of each, to clip on to and hold your stocking tops in place. If you have a choice between four and six clasps, it is highly recommended that you go with the six, especially if the thigh highs you are wearing have that long sexy seam on the back. Having the extra straps will help ensure that your stockings stay exactly in place the way you want them, with that seam perfectly centered on the back of your leg.

On the other hand, if you don't want to mess with the additional equipment necessary with a garter belt, you can opt to go with elastic topped thigh high socks. Many people are very pleasantly surprised by how well these types of stocking stay in place. While some people do find that the elastic starts to get uncomfortable after a while, or that it gets a bit damp from sweat, others don't have those issues at all. One added benefit of this style of thigh high sock is that if you decide you want to change your look a bit by having it come to just over your knee (or just below it for that matter), it's easy enough to make that adjustment by simply folding it down. If you're relying on a garter belt to hold things in place… the top will always be the top.

Regardless of what method you use to secure your stockings in place, one this is certain; you will have a nearly endless supply of colors, prints, and designs to choose from to greatly enhance your current wardrobe.
