Interesting. Well, tights are underwear. Therefore stockings are underwear. And socks are just short stockings. Unless ankle socks fall into a different category, while their sisters, knee-high and thigh-high socks, are classed as underwear; and that would just be silly.

And although they are sometimes 'on display', as people have pointed out, they do spend most of their time 'under': under shoes, under trousers, under long skirts. If they appear under shorts and with sandals, people joke about them. In fact, the only item of clothing I wear them over is leggings, and then I am generally wearing them under boots.

Yup. Underwear. Goodnight.
