English term or phrase: panty hose
Is there another alternative to "sarung kaki" and "stokin"? The client didn't like those saying they make people think of socks. I agree, but can't think of anything better.

stokin nilon; celana nilon


Explanation:
ramona,

i'd go with fara's suggestion. but the above alternatives might come in useful if you need choices.

another word for pantyhose is nylons and kamus dewan translates that as 'stokin nilon'.

i also looked up tights, another possible synonym for pantyhose but don't think 'seluar sama sendat' would cut it here. :D

'celana nilon' is in one of my indon dictionaries. i thought i'd give it as another alternative.
