Short answer
Measure around the fullest part of your upper thigh, roughly where the stocking band will sit, and note your height. Compare both numbers to the product's size chart. Measure each leg, since they can differ slightly. If you fall between sizes, size up for comfort, especially with stay-ups, because an overly tight band tends to roll down and pinch.
