hosiery
Stockings and tights
Hosiery is socks, stockings, and similar garments for the legs and feet.
The word appears mostly in retail contexts—department stores have hosiery sections, and manufacturers produce hosiery lines.
In everyday speech, people usually say socks or stockings rather than hosiery: She picked up some hosiery at the store.
