Stockings
Updated:Stockings are form-fitting, close-knit garments worn on the legs and feet, typically extending from the foot to the mid-thigh or thigh. Often associated with lingerie and considered sexually appealing, stockings are commonly made from materials like nylon, silk, or other synthetic fibers. They can be worn for practical purposes, fashion, or as part of sexual play and fetishism.
Additional Information
Stockings come in various styles, including sheer, opaque, patterned, and fishnet. They are often held up by garter belts or have elastic bands at the top (known as hold-ups or stay-ups). In sexual contexts, stockings can be a significant element of role-play, fetish wear, or general seduction. Some people find the texture, appearance, or symbolism of stockings to be sexually arousing, leading to a specific fetish known as stocking fetishism.
