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 using tea or ''gravy'' to temporarily dye their legs rather than be seen bare-legged in public.
