How it's used
Modern fashion trends have made this item quite rare in daily life, as most socks are now designed with elastic cuffs that stay up on their own. You will mostly encounter this term in discussions about vintage clothing or formal attire where traditional hosiery is worn. It is a very specific noun that is rarely used outside of its literal function.
