Allen, but was renamed to Aristoc in 1934.[2] Aristoc originally marketed itself as the "aristocrat of silk stockings".[3] They are famous for their production of tights, knee-highs, stockings, shapewears, and body shapers. Aristoc is a brand under the company Pretty Polly.[4] They are known to be reasonably priced so most can afford them.
