Nylons are stockings made of artificial material, usually nylon or polyester. They were first developed in the 1930s and became popular in the 1940s. NYLONS are known for their durability and strength, as well as their ability to stretch and conform to the shape of the wearer's legs. They are also lightweight and easy to care for. NYLONS are a popular choice for women's hosiery, and they come in a variety of colors and styles.
