What is a "knee-high"?

Knee-high is a type of hosiery that extends to just below the knee. They are often made of nylon or other synthetic materials and may be worn for warmth, as a fashion accessory, or as part of a uniform. Knee-highs can be found in a variety of colors and patterns and may feature reinforced toes and heels for added durability. They are typically worn with skirts or dresses and may be paired with boots or shoes, depending on the desired look.
