The question might not burn on your mind, but there may come a time when you’ll have to know the answer. What is the difference between thigh highs and stockings?

Now you might say to yourself, isn’t it all the same? In fact, most people might have heard the term thigh-high stocking and figured that covered anything that wasn’t a pair of pantyhose. Not true! Thigh highs are sometimes called thigh high stockings, but there truly is a difference between the two.

Thigh Highs

Yes, they are intended to reach your thigh, about mid-thigh to be exact. They do not reach as high as panty hose do, which go all the way to your waist. Thigh highs have a silicone band around the top that grips the leg to ensure that they stay put and don’t slip. Some bands are lacy and racy, textured and thick, while other bands and simple and thin. Some have a back seam for added appeal and some are just sheer and sexy.  Fiore Milena Thigh Highs are modern and sexy and come in a variety of colors to make your legs sing.

Stockings

Stockings are not meant to stay up on their own.  These are the original legwear for women, before the pantyhose were born.  Sometimes stockings were sewn to a woman’s briefs in order to stay in place, but mostly they stayed put with the help of a suspender belt, or garter belt. They do not have a silicone band to hold them up, which can be more comfortable for some women.
