stockinged

Legs in nylons

Stockinged describes feet or legs covered in stockings: She padded across the floor in stockinged feet.

The word appears almost exclusively in this phrase, suggesting someone who has removed their shoes but not their hosiery—a state of partial undress associated with being at home or at ease.
