Striped thigh high socks - hosiery by Leg Avenue - review by travelnurse

Striped Thigh highs from Leg Avenue



These are so much fun. They are actually more of a sock material instead of tights. So they will be around for many, many uses. They are on the thicker side so if you live up north these are great for keeping your legs warm and they looks really cool too. You can wear these for running around or for fun in the bedroom. Husband thinks that they are wild! They go great with many of your Halloween or masquerade costumes too.

I am 5’5’ inches and they land towards the upper portion of my thighs. I can wear these with or without garters. They stay up nicely with the 3 inch band at the top. The band stretches nicely and is not at all constricting on my approximately 16 inch thighs. I do end up with a “bubble” at the top due to my lack of fitness level at this time.



They are great in shoes as the toe area doesn’t have excessive stitching that balls up in the toes. They are comfortable. These have gone through the wash several times as they are just like my regular type of socks and I haven’t had any issues with the colors running or falling them falling apart. The instructions say to hand wash but that doesn’t happen with me with socks.



Instructions say to hand wash in warm and drip dry. Tell that to my husband. The thigh highs are made from 76% acrylic, 21% nylon and 1% polyester. They stretch nicely. Sizing states one size weight 90 to 160 lbs. I fit right in at 146 lbs.

These may get a little warm with bedroom play as they are thicker, and my teenage children think that I am nuts, but I really do enjoy wearing these. It goes well with red shoes to play the wicked witch of the west!



There is nothing special about the packaging and it goes in the trash.

These are honestly the funnest stockings. I feel fun when I wear them and yes they are sexy too. They are very comfy and they stand up to the washing machine. I just make sure that they aren't on really hot in the dryer. I would definitely purchase again, I may do so just to have another pair for when I need them.
