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. Historically, even though the word sock is at least as ancient in origin, what men normally wore were often referred to as stockings, probably especially when referring to longer hose. See Hose.

Have you ever taken a look at your VienneMilano thigh highs and wondered how women could ever live without them? Just as culture and popular fashion have evolved over the decades, so too has hosiery. Hosiery's first origins can be found in its name, a term deriving from the Anglo-Saxon Old English word " hosen " which means covering. Believe it or not, "hose" or "hosiery" were worn as early as the 15th and 16th centuries.
