No question about it. Thigh-highs are darn sexy.

On some of us.

On others, well … If you thought panty lines were a sorry sight, try the fright of thigh bulge. (No, they don’t call them quads because you’re meant to have four.)

No fun at all.

Well, far be it from us to suggest you refrain from anything involving fun. Rather may we recommend you check out Wolford’s Rodeo Drive tights? Yes, the masters of luxe legwear have created the perfect compromise: tummy-to-toe tights that give the illusion of skimpy thigh-highs. The opaque part stops at the upper thigh, and the rest just keeps on going — giving the support you need while eliminating any unsightly consequences.

So put a pair on under your mini. And be prepared to take them off.

Available at Wolford, 122 Greene Street, at Prince Street (212-343-0808); and Wolford, 619 Madison Avenue, at 58th Street (212-688-4850).
