black stockings
Noir leg coverings
Black stockings are hosiery—typically sheer nylon—covering the foot and leg, held up by garters or a garter belt.
They carry strong associations with seduction and feminine allure, appearing frequently in lingerie, burlesque, and erotic contexts: She wore black stockings and heels.
The image is a staple of pin-up aesthetics and sexual fantasy.
