The only people that wear clothes like that are school girls or cosplayers.

The title I'd give it is outdated. Leg warmers went out of style a few years ago. Too bad, I liked them. I guess I am chotto sukebe desu.

Obviously the elastic in these stockings need replacing or are they leg warmers?

They were called "loose socks" and came into fashion about 15 years ago. It was one of the only parts of a school uniform that wasn't strictly regulated so girls could "express themselves" with their socks.

Sometimes the socks themselves were over a meter long and were held up with "loose socks glue" for the perfect look.

And I worked in a Japanese high school in the mid-90s, and that's why I know, if you are curious.
