DuPont began manufacturing nylon in 1939. Nylon stockings went on limited sale in October of that year followed by a national launch at selected stores in 1940.
Eager American shoppers bought up the new nylons even though they were priced the same as those made of silk. DuPont struggled to keep up with demand. Most nylon was used to make stockings, but some were bought by the American military to replace silk in the manufacture of parachutes.
A new fashion arose from the nylon ration. A foundation for your legs is applied carefully and evenly for the illusion of a hose, users got even more realistic by using black eyeliner pencils to draw the “seam.”

I no longer wear stockings; I go for crew socks; I buy from the Dollar Tree (retro/vintage prints) or knee high socks.

I moved from Chicago to Texas & I still will wear knee high socks or crew socks over stockings. It is super difficult to find knee high socks here in Texas, it frustrated me until I found two pairs of navy blue knee high socks at H&M in the mall, I have not found any since & that was over a year ago. 
The wonderful news is the funky socks they sell at the Dollar Tree are long enough for knee highs (my shoe size is 7) & thin enough to be worn in the Texas heat.
