Hosiery worn by women as stockings (6)

I believe the answer is:

tights

(Other definitions for tights that I've seen before include "Close fitting garment" , "Leg-wear for women" , "Hose coverings from waist to feet" , "Ladies or theatrical hose" , "Women's garment worn in place of stockings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
