I personally find them to be very comfortable, and they do look awesome. Though not everyone might agree, different strokes for different folks.

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.

I think the idea is they wear the cute pink ones underneath the pants and the boots. Outside is pants and combat boots, inside is the cute thigh highs.
