Stockings are pieces of clothing for your feet or for your feet and legs. Stockings for your feet are also called "socks." Women sometimes wear stockings that cover their whole leg. They are usually thin and you can see through them. Some stockings have a top part added to them so that they can cover the lower body up to the waist. These stockings are called "pantyhose."
