If you are looking at this from a photography or modeling perspective, consider these "classic" standards:
: The "thumb-hook" should be light. Pulling too hard can distort the knit of the hosiery or cause "sausage-ing" at the waistline.
: Side-lighting is best to catch the subtle shimmer (denier) of the pantyhose when the fabric is being manipulated.
: Thumbs are often used to ensure the seam is perfectly aligned, a hallmark of "mature" precision in dressing.
: To avoid snagging the delicate fabric (especially with ultra-sheers), hands and cuticles must be perfectly smooth.
: It draws the viewer's eye to the "welt" (the reinforced top of the stocking) or the waistband, showing off the construction and lace details.
