Hosiery is a term loosely used to describe a number of different styles of leg coverings, including:
The most common type of hosiery is pantyhose. When most women talk about hosiery, they are talking about pantyhose. These one-piece leg coverings originally appeared in the 1960’s as a hybrid hosiery piece that was somewhere between panties and stockings (which share a similar construction but lack the upper panty piece so they are just leg coverings).
Initially, when skirt hemlines began to rise in the 1920’s, there was no hosiery option available for women to cover their legs, aside from stockings. Luckily, by the time the miniskirt was introduced in 1965, the first pantyhose were rolling out of the mills.
