For works prior to the 1960s, this was something of an EnforcedTrope, as American and European women simply wore stockings every day as part of their regular underwear. Initially the stockings were opaque knitted ones in your basic white (for young women) and black (for older ones), while working-class women might get away with brown or grey. With the shorter hemlines that came into fashion shortly after the turn of the 20th century, stockings became less underwear and more a fashion statement--new designs were lighter, more translucent, and came in a variety of patterns and colors--but were still considered mandatory wear; there were even black swimming stockings meant to be worn with bathing suits. A pair of silk stockings might set a lady back a whole $2.50 (nearly $30 in 2018 dollars), and when cheaper, more durable nylon stockings became available in 1939, they were considered a boon to womankind. When stockings became unavailable due to shortages of silk and nylon during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, women simply drew a line up the back of their calves to imitate stocking seams. A special makeup was even developed for use on the legs to mimic the appearance of stockings, with poorer women going so far as to use ''gravy'' to temporarily dye their legs rather than be seen bare-legged in public.

For works prior to the 1960s, this was something of an EnforcedTrope, as American and European women simply wore stockings every day as part of their regular underwear.[[note]] In fact, stockings were such an expected part of woman's dress that when they became unavailable due to shortages of silk and nylon during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, women simply drew a line up the back of their calves (imitating stocking seams), and occasionally even wore special makeup on their legs, to mimic their appearance.[[/note]] However, due to [[ValuesDissonance the strict moral standards of the day]] (of which UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode is exemplar), scenes depicting the full ensemble with garters and all were uncommon in American movies (though more frequent in European films); however, there were exceptions to the rule for [[PlayedForLaughs using the trope for comedic purposes]], and things started loosening up in Hollywood movies during the '50s. These days, they're considered [[AwesomeButImpractical inconvenient for daily wear]] (much like the corset was decades before), due to factors such as the widespread popularity of short skirts since the '60s and the introduction of pantyhose during the same decade, but still frequently encountered for {{fanservice}} purposes or as a throwback to the Golden Age of Hollywood.

When you see a Stocking Filler scene in a PeriodPiece, check what kind of garter the actress is wearing to see if the costume department has been [[ShownTheirWork doing their research work properly]]. Before the late 19th century, stockings were customarily held up by round garters, ribbons of various materials, or even simply rolled up at or above the knee. Garter straps (also often called suspender straps) were introduced as attachments to corsets during [[UsefulNotes/VictorianBritain the Victorian Era]], and garter belts in the modern sense came along during TheRoaringTwenties as skirts got shorter and corsets fell out of fashion. Along with pantyhose, stockings with special elastic bands at the thighs were introduced during the 1960s. Also, thigh-length stockings were fairly uncommon before the late 19th century; most stockings were knee-length or extended just a couple of inches above the knee.
