silk stockings
Sheer elegant hosiery
Silk stockings are hosiery made from silk, prized for their sheen and smoothness against the skin.
Once a luxury item and status marker, they've been largely displaced by nylon.
The term evokes elegance and femininity, often with period connotations: She rolled her silk stockings up past her knees.
A silk-stocking district or crowd suggests wealth and refinement.
