Legwear consists of many types of hosiery meant to cover the legs and feet. Legwear may include stockings, nylons, pantyhose, leggings or simple socks. From form to function, Legwear serves a purpose whether it's to create a sheer appearance with a classic evening gown, or to compliment seductive lingerie. Legwear is sexy because it accentuates the curves and lines of the leg.
