Stocking and shoe ensemble (4)
I believe the answer is:
hose
'stocking' is the definition.
(hose is a kind of stocking)
'shoe ensemble' is the wordplay.
'ensemble' indicates anagramming the letters.
'shoe' with letters rearranged gives 'HOSE'.
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for hose that I've seen before include "Flexible pipe for liquid" , "Breeches (worn with a doublet)" , "footwear" , "One with doublet; a tube" , "Garden implement" .)
