Picked stockings - cold November outside (6)
I believe the answer is:
chosen
'picked' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'stockings cold november outside' is the wordplay.
'stockings' becomes 'hose' (hose refers to stockings, tights etc).
'cold' becomes 'C' (eg on taps).
'november' becomes 'N' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'outside' indicates putting letters inside (some letters go outside others).
'c'+'n'='cn'
'hose' inserted inside 'cn' is 'CHOSEN'.
(Other definitions for chosen that I've seen before include "'''Many are called, but few are ...'' (Bible) (6)'" , "Selected, picked" , "part of Asia once" , "If you're one of these few, you're very privileged" , "Selected, preferred" .)
