To keep your royal blue leg warmers securely in place:

1. **Position Correctly**: Place them at the widest part of your calf where they naturally have something to grip onto
2. **Wear Over Leggings/Tights**: The friction between fabrics helps prevent slippage
3. **Fold Over the Top**: Creating a doubled-over band at the top can provide extra grip
4. **Use Fashion Tape**: For special events, a small piece of double-sided fashion tape can help secure them
5. **Try Elastic Bands**: Sew a thin elastic band inside the top edge for extra hold (if you're crafty)
6. **Scrunch Them Down**: Wearing them intentionally scrunched rather than fully extended can reduce slipping

Most users find that the natural elasticity of the knitted material provides sufficient grip when positioned correctly on the leg, especially when worn over tights or leggings.
