Stocking
Hosiery that covers the feet and legs to the knee or higher / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the article of clothing primarily worn by women. For the Christmas receptacle filled by Santa Claus, see Christmas stocking. For other uses, see Stocking (disambiguation).
Stockings (also known as hose, especially in a historical context) are close-fitting, variously elastic garments covering the leg from the foot up to the knee or possibly part or all of the thigh. Stockings vary in color, design, and transparency. Today, stockings are primarily worn for fashion and aesthetics, usually in association with mid-length or short skirts.
