thigh highs

Knee-surpassing hosiery

Thigh highs are stockings that extend to the upper thigh, typically held up by elastic bands or garters rather than attaching to a waistband.

They're associated with lingerie, fashion statements, and certain subcultures: She paired thigh highs with a miniskirt.

The term also applies to socks of similar length.
