Damn those socks look comfy. Im a dude who will wear leggings, buts thats because theyre great. But as cute as thigh high socks are, unless you have like a garter belt system how do you keep em up, are high socks even good for something besides look? Im seriously asking, because i just dont understand.

there's a solution that I discovered recently: leggings that look like thigh-high socks! I just discovered the technique recently with this video

mostly I just think they're cute as hell, but they can be kinda nice in the colder weather, or like I have pants with big (aesthetic) rips in the legs, so the thigh highs keep me warm hehe. They fall often, but it's not too bad, with me being a college kid who is sitting all day lol.
