Your thigh highs should sit one inch away from your inseam. If you end up with a “muffin top” on your thigh, then your thigh highs are too high and should be lowered. If your thigh highs appear crumpled, then they aren't high enough.

How high should you wear hold-ups?

Hold-ups and stay-ups are two terms which are popular in Europe and the United Kingdom. While thigh highs are the term most often used in the United States. Stay ups and hold-ups are stockings with an elastic or silicone band around the top. The stockings are meant to stay above your mid-thigh.

Where should hold-ups sit?

Roll them up and put them on your toe, unrolling all the way to your thigh. Keep your legs dry. Dry legs are the key to keeping them up. Use deodorant or talc around the area the silicone band sits.
