stocking definition and meaning

What is a "stocking"?

A stocking is a type of hosiery that covers the foot, leg, and sometimes the thigh. They are typically made from nylon or other stretchy materials and come in a variety of styles and designs. Stockings are often worn as part of formal or sexy attire and may be worn with a garter belt or suspender belt to hold them up. They can also be worn for warmth or support, and some medical conditions may require the use of compression stockings to improve circulation. Stockings have a long history, dating back to the Middle Ages when they were made from wool or silk and worn by both men and women. Today, stockings remain a popular fashion accessory and can be found in a wide range of colors, patterns, and materials.
