Strange that socks and stockings are the same word, because they're really not the same item. I'm going to suggest "tights" as an alternative answer, which is the word I used for stockings and got wrong. But maybe there is a different word for tights, as they are also a little different to stockings, being joined at the top. ?

The "autoreggenti" are stockings that hold on the legs with no extra fastening needed.
