Stoking (also known as hose , especially in historical context) is a very elegant, elastic outfit that covers the legs from legs to knees or perhaps part or all of the thighs. Stockings vary in color, design, and transparency. Today, stockings are mainly worn for fashion and aesthetics, usually associated with long skirts.
By analogy, the term "stocking" is also used to describe the type of horse sign in which the white color extends from the hoof nail to just above the knee.

History
Historically, although the word sock is at least similar to its origin, what men typically wear is often referred to as pantyhose, probably especially when referring to longer hoses. The word stock is used to refer to the bottom of the "stump" part of the body, and by analogy the word is used to refer to the cover of one part of the stem and the limb of the fifteenth century-the tight cut consists of < i> above-stock (then imposed separately as knee pants) and nether-shares (then charged separately as stockings i>). (See Hose.)
Before the 1590s, stockings were made of woven fabrics. The first knitting machine to make stockings. The stockings themselves are made of cotton, linen, wool or silk. A cotton called cotton lacquer is common, as it was made in the town of Balbriggan.
Before the 1920s, stockings, if worn, were worn for warmth. Women, especially during the pioneers, wore longjohns under their long dresses. In the 1920s, when the outlines of the dresses rose, and the churches were not heated, the women began wearing meat-colored stockings over their longjohns to cover their open legs. The stockings are made of silk or rayon (later known as "artificial silk") and after 1940 nylon.
The introduction of nylon in 1939 by the DuPont chemical company began a high demand for stockings in the United States with up to 4 million pairs purchased in one day. Nylon stockings are cheap, durable, and thin compared to their cotton and silk counterparts. When America entered World War II, DuPont halted the production of nylon stockings and restored their factories to produce parachutes, aircraft cables and ropes. This led to a shortage and the creation of a black market for stockings. At the end of the war DuPont announced that the company would again produce stockings, but could not meet demand. This led to a series of disturbances in American stores known as nylon riots until DuPont was able to increase production.
Pantyhose precursors emerged in the 1940s and 1950s, when film and theater productions had stockings stitched into actress and dancer pants, according to actress-singer-dancer Ann Miller and spotted in popular films like Daddy Long Leg . Today, stockings are usually made using knitted wool, silk, cotton or nylon (see socks). The introduction of commercial pantyhose in 1959 provided an alternative to stockings, and the use of pantyhose declined dramatically. The main reason for this is the trend toward higher limits on the dress (see minidress). In 1970, US stocking sales outpaced stockings for the first time, and have remained this way ever since. Starting in 1987, pantyhose sales began to decline slightly due to newly discovered hold-ups, but still the most sold socks.

Benefits and disadvantages
Stockings are sometimes preferred over pantyhose for a number of reasons. This may include the perception that stockings, and the associated use of garter, lace, high fashion, appliquà © and thigh exposure, are more aesthetic, or sexually attractive and alluring than pantyhose.
Both nylon and pantyhose stockings both have the advantages of being dry faster than the pants. Spare couples are also easy to carry if damaged. If stitched, they can be replaced 'one by one' which gives the cost advantage over tights.
However, stockings do have drawbacks in colder weather, as more skin is exposed to cold compared to pantyhose. Also, pantyhose does not require garter and belt garter, and does not need to be adjusted much, while also leaving a smoother line under the right clothes.
Support
Stockings can be held in one of three ways:
- The garter belt (AmE), or belt or suspender suspender (BrE), is the most common way to hold stockings. This is the underwear worn around the waist like a belt, but under the garment that has a "suspender" or "fixed" that sticks to the top of the stockings.
- "Stay-up" is the second most common means of support. The inside of the top of the stockings has a ribbon (usually silicone) of elastic or highly tractive material that refuses to slip on the thigh. However, there is no consistent measure for differences in thigh circumference, resulting in some stockings either falling or too tight, leaving a red mark and possibly aggravating varicose veins.
- Garter is the most unusual support tool. It slips on top of the hoard to hold stocking essentially clamping it to the foot. This is the garter that is usually worn by the bride at her wedding. They have similar losses to "stay-up".
Terminology
In modern usage, stocking specifically refers to the form of socks configured as two parts, one for each leg (except for American and Australian English, where the term can also be synonymous pantyhose). The terms hold-up and the highest thigh refers to the stockings that keep rising through the use of elastic congenital, while the word stockings is a generic term or refers to the type of stockings which requires a suspender belt (garter belt, in American English), and quite different from tights or pantyhose (American English).
