Kixies Thigh-High Stockings Australia - Silicone-Top Stay-Up Thigh-High Stockings

Kix’ies makes stay-up thigh highs, also called hold-ups or stay-ups, with a silicone grip band that keeps them in place without a garter belt. The Californian brand sizes its hosiery from petite to plus, in sheer, fishnet, seamed and rhinestone styles.

About Kix’ies

Kix’ies is a hosiery brand from Concord, California, owned by Samantha DeMartini. Its first trademark application was filed in 2012, for tights. The brand set out to fix the two big complaints about hold-ups: they slide down, and they rarely fit fuller thighs. Its answer was a wide top band with four rows of silicone grip and a size chart based on thigh measurement.

Since then the range has grown from thigh highs into tights, socks, lingerie and custom team apparel. The brand’s motto, Fashion. Fun. Freedom., is a registered US trademark. On its own site, Kix’ies even shows Samantha skydiving in a pair to prove they stay up.

Kix’ies brands

Kix’ies sells its products under six named lines.

Kix’ies Thigh-Highs: the stay-up range

Kix’ies Thigh-Highs are stay-up stockings with a wide band lined with four rows of silicone grip, so they hold without a garter belt. Each style has a woman’s name, such as Whitney, Taylor, Sam, Lois and Angelica. The brand groups them into collections: Sheer, Opaque, Nude, Back Seam, Diamond, Fishnet, Patterned Fishnets and All that Glitters for rhinestones and shimmer. They are mostly nylon and spandex. Unlike most stockings, they come in four fitted sizes rather than one size fits most.

Kix’ies Stickies: adhesive wardrobe solutions

Kix’ies Stickies is the brand’s line of stick-on wardrobe fixes for low-cut, backless and strapless outfits. It includes double-sided fashion tape strips, boob tape, adhesive push-up inserts and reusable silicone boob lifts. Silicone and satin flower nipple covers give a smooth line under sheer or fitted fabric. The silicone covers come in light, medium and dark shades. Stickies suit outfits where a bra would show, from evening gowns to lingerie looks.

Kix’ies Socks

Kix’ies Socks cover two very different needs. The Over The Knee Knit Sweater Socks are thick, long knitted socks for cold weather and layering over leggings or under boots. No-show socks sit below the ankle for sneakers and flats. Neither uses the silicone grip band of the thigh highs, as they rely on the knit to stay in place. They are casual wear rather than lingerie.

Kix’ies Clean: hosiery care

Kix’ies Clean groups the care products that keep hosiery in good shape. Fine stockings, fishnets and rhinestone styles snag and twist easily in a washing machine. The silicone grip band also loses hold if it is treated roughly. The collection centres on mesh wash bags and gentle cleaning tools, so stockings can be washed without tearing. Pair it with a cool hand wash for the longest life.

Kix’ies Travel: packable legwear

Kix’ies Travel is a curated edit of the brand’s most packable pieces, chosen for commuting, work trips and holidays. It focuses on hard-wearing neutrals, opaque styles and no-show socks that fold small and mix with most outfits. The idea is to pack a few versatile pairs rather than many delicate ones. Thigh highs also take up less room than tights, as there is no waistband.

Kix’ies Game Day: custom apparel

Kix’ies Game Day is the brand’s custom apparel line. It covers team-colour legwear and Game Day yoga shorts, made for schools, sports clubs and fans. The same no-slip thinking carries over, with pieces designed to stay put while you move. Game Day is mainly sold in the United States and sits apart from the lingerie and hosiery ranges. It shows how far the brand has grown beyond stockings.

Kix’ies categories

These product categories sit across the lines above.

Tights and body stockings

Beyond thigh highs, Kix’ies makes full tights in sheer, opaque, shine and rhinestone finishes, plus seasonal prints such as plaid and tie dye. Body stockings cover the torso and legs in one piece of sheer or fishnet fabric. Footless thigh highs and leggings round out the legwear. Danielle, an 80-denier opaque style, is one of the warmest options for winter.

Moms-to-be: thigh highs over tights

Kix’ies runs a Moms-to-Be collection for pregnancy. Because the thigh highs stop at the mid-thigh, there is no waistband pressing on a growing bump. The same sizing chart applies, so measure your thigh as your body changes rather than relying on your pre-pregnancy size. Ask a health professional about compression stockings if you have swelling or vein problems, as these are fashion hosiery, not medical stockings.

Lingerie, panties and men’s trunks

Kix’ies also makes a small lingerie range, including panties and plus-size lingerie, plus men’s trunks. These pieces are designed to wear with the thigh highs for a matching look. Our guide to four lingerie types shows how thigh highs fit alongside bras, bodysuits and corsets. The men’s pieces suit buyers shopping our lingerie for men and women range for a couple’s outfit.

How the Kix’ies grip and sizing work

Most hold-ups use a single thin band of silicone. Kix’ies uses a wider band with four rows, which spreads the grip over more skin. That means less pressure in one spot and less rolling down as you move. The grip works best on clean, dry skin.

Sizing is where Kix’ies stands apart. Instead of one size fits most, styles come in sizes A, B, C and D. Each size is matched to height and thigh circumference, covering heights from about 150 to 183 cm and thighs up to about 90 cm. That makes the range a good fit for people who have given up on hold-ups that pinch or slide.

Styling Kix’ies thigh highs

Thigh highs can be everyday wear or the star of a lingerie look. A sheer pair suits a skirt at work. A back seam adds a pin-up feel for a night out, and rhinestones or shimmer suit parties and the stage. Fishnet Kix’ies also finish a corset look, and our article on eight erotic corsets shows styles that sit well over stay-ups. Add sexy lingerie for her for a full outfit. Because the band grips on its own, you can wear them with or without a suspender belt.

Wearing thigh highs all day

Stay-ups are comfortable all day once the size is right. Roll each stocking down, slip your foot in, and unroll it up the leg so the seam or pattern sits straight. Settle the band at mid-thigh, where the leg is widest, rather than high on the hip. If the band feels tight after a few hours, go up a size next time. If it slips, check that your skin was dry and free of lotion, or try the next size down.

Kix’ies thigh highs are also a practical alternative to tights in hot weather, as there is nothing around the waist. Many wearers keep a nude pair for work and a fishnet pair for nights out. Back seams take a little care to line up, so check them in a mirror before you leave.

How Kix’ies styles compare

Here is how the main styles line up.

Choosing your first Kix’ies

Start with how you will wear them. For everyday use, Taylor’s plain sheer finish is the most versatile. For a classic seductive look, Lois or Whitney adds a back seam. For a night out, Sam’s classic fishnet is the safe choice, and Angelica adds rhinestones. If you want coverage and warmth, choose Danielle’s 80-denier opaque. Measure first, then pick your size from the chart on the product page.

Who Kix’ies suits — and who should look elsewhere

Kix’ies suits anyone who loves thigh highs but hates garter belts, and especially people with fuller thighs who struggle with standard sizes. It also suits performers and dancers who need stockings that stay put.

It is not the right brand if you need medical compression stockings, as these are fashion hosiery. People with sensitive skin should try a short wear first, as some react to silicone bands. And if you want a full lingerie wardrobe from one label, the Kix’ies lingerie range is small.
