Thigh-highs

Over-the-knee socks reach above the knee, usually to mid-thigh. They differ from knee-highs not only in length but also in construction: they must have a stronger elastic band at the top or a silicone finish to prevent them from slipping down when the knee bends.

They are worn with skirts and dresses, often as a styling element, and also as a warmer layer in winter. In thin versions, given in DEN, they give an effect similar to stockings, but without a garter belt; in knitted versions made of cotton or wool, they are simply warm.

When choosing a size, look at the circumference of the thigh where the over-the-knee sock ends, not just the shoe size. A top that is too narrow will constrict and slip down after a few steps; one that is too wide will fall down.

In the collection, you will find plain, ribbed, and patterned models. Wash at 30 degrees in a laundry bag, do not dry on a radiator, as high temperatures damage silicone bands and elastane. Shipping in 1-2 business days, free delivery from 199 PLN, returns within 14 days.

If the over-the-knee socks slip down despite being the correct size, check that the silicone band is not in contact with lotion – this is the most common reason, not a defect in the model.

Over-the-knee socks extend above the knee and are the warmest hosiery product apart from tights. They cover the knee joint, which remains exposed with shorter socks, making them well-suited for cold days, under trousers, and as a stylish accessory with a shorter skirt and boots.

The most important thing here is to keep the product in place. The fabric of over-the-knee socks must be sufficiently elastic above the knee, because this is where the circumference of the leg changes the most when bending. A wide cuff and added elastane prevent slipping, and models with a silicone band even stay put on smooth skin.

The composition determines the warmth. Cotton with elastane is versatile, wool and acrylic blends provide the most warmth, and thin elastane variants serve a decorative function. Before buying several pairs, check a thicker over-the-knee sock with your shoe – a higher shaft might prove to be too tight.

Available brands include Milena, Cerber, and Legs. You can find a shorter version among knee-high socks, and a warmer alternative among wool socks.

Store them folded flat, not rolled into a ball – rolling stretches the cuff, which is responsible for keeping the product above the knee. This element wears out the fastest and determines when a pair needs to be replaced. It's also worth checking if the product isn't too short: an over-the-knee sock that ends too low will slip down with every knee bend.
