Tired of putting on shoes and stockings? Louis Dell`Olio has answered your prayers.

His all-in-one stocking boot, made for Anne Klein, is a mid-heel shoe encased in a black Lycra, thigh-high stocking. ”They`re showing them with big tunic sweaters and big long jackets,” says Richard Leas, shoe salon manager at Bloomingdale`s, 900 N. Michigan Ave. ”The whole look is not to have the leg showing, but to have a monochromatic thing going.”
And how do you get a washing thing going?
Dry cleaning may discolor the fabric, says Leas, and washing machines are definitely a bad idea. So he suggests protecting the stocking boots (which cost from $130 to $170) with Scotchguard and spot-cleaning with a spray that`s available in shoe stores.
