Stocking style is a type of clothing that covers the legs and feet. It is usually made of a thin, stretchy material such as nylon or lycra. Two popular types of stocking style are MESH and fishnet. MESH stockings are made of a fine, open-weave fabric that allows air to pass through easily. Fishnet stockings are made of a thicker, more tightly woven fabric with larger holes. Both styles are often worn as fashion statements, but can also be used for practical purposes such as keeping warm in cold weather.
