Patterned and striped hosiery is a great way to liven up an outfit and isn't limited to tights and pantyhose. There are several styles of striped thigh highs to choose from as well. The term 'thigh highs' is often used interchangeably with 'stocking' to describe stocking-weight hosiery that comes to mid or high thigh. They are typically held up with wide bands of silicone tape or grippers around the top of the leg. Striped thigh highs range from patterns of sheer and opaque stripes to lacy vertical pinstripes and over-the-knee socks of microfiber or other opaque materials. Patterned hosiery like this can be the the perfect finishing touch from the office through the evening.
