Good question -
Normal socks are termed "ankle socks"
Below the knee are called "3/4 length socks"
So, I assume, above the knee must be called "full length socks"
(I may be wrong on any/all of the above - I am fucking old and relying on my decrepid memory)
I must say, thick nylon/lycra just above the knee, I have always known as leggins.
