gartered
Secured with straps
Gartered describes something fitted with or wearing garters—bands worn around the leg to hold up stockings or socks.
The term appears most often in descriptions of formal or historical dress: gartered stockings, gartered legs.
The Order of the Garter, Britain's oldest order of chivalry, gives us gartered knights.
