legwear

Pants and stockings

Legwear is clothing that covers the legs—stockings, tights, leggings, socks, and similar garments.

The term appears most often in retail and fashion contexts: The store's legwear department carries everything from pantyhose to compression socks.

Unlike pants or trousers, legwear typically refers to fitted garments worn close to the skin.
