Knee highs are hosiery that cover the feet and legs up to the knee.

A fashion accessory for casual and classic cool or warm weather apparel.

Typically worn by women in many societies, they are sometimes worn with modern semi-formal attire.

Unlike ordinary socks, they are generally made of nylon or other stocking materials.

There were also different types and uses of knee highs for women.

Hosiery, also referred to as legwear, describes garments worn directly on the feet and legs.

The term originated as the collective term for products of which a maker or seller is termed a hosier; and those products are also known generically as hose.

The term is also used for all types of knitted fabric, and its thickness and weight is defined by denier or opacity.

Lower denier measurements of 5 to 15 describe a hose which may be sheer in appearance, whereas styles of 40 and above are dense, with little to no light able to come through on 100 denier items.

A sock is a piece of clothing worn on the feet and often covering the ankle or some part of the calf.

Some types of shoes or boots are typically worn over socks.

In ancient times, socks were made from leather or matted animal hair.

In the late 16th century, machine-knit socks were first produced.

Until the 1800s, both hand-made and machine-knit socks were manufactured, with the latter technique becoming more common in the 19th century, and continuing until the modern day.
