Idk what it is with guys and thigh high socks. They always feel like they're groping my leg and kind of uncomfortable. But... I suppose they do look great.
I'm not a fan of thigh high socks, but I quite like stockings (with a suspender belt). As well as that having additional "sexy" connotations, I also find I can enjoy thigh high hosiery better if I'm not worried about them staying up
I live in a place that gets pretty cold during winter, typically between -10 and 0 fahrenheit. They absolutely grip the leg tight and can get sweaty in the summer, but kinda necessary for winter.
For spring and fall I usually pair them with shorts or skirts for cutesy reasons, but this meme is v accurate to my winter experience.
