A sock is a knitted piece of clothing that you wear on your feet. They stop your shoes rubbing on your feet, and also keep your feet warm and dry. Socks come in every color imaginable.
Stockings are similar to socks but cover your legs to the tops of your thighs. Stockings are usually worn by women and girls. Stockings that go all the way up to your waist are called nylons or pantihose. Opaque stockings are often called tights or leggings.
