Are your thigh high socks not staying so high after all? Whether you're wearing thigh high socks or tights for a costume or just to stay cozy this season, you'll want to know how to make thigh high socks stay up because it's a little more difficult than you probably realize.
Socks and tights are notorious for causing wardrobe malfunctions. When they go wrong, they go really wrong. They either fall straight to your ankles at the most inopportune time or they rip on the way down. The problem with your socks staying in place can be a lot of things: The socks themselves are too big, there could be too much friction and movement between your socks and shoes, or the sock's fabric or design isn't ideal for your activity of choice. Whatever the reason, there are a few tried and true solutions that will keep your high socks in place.
