Pantyhose (also called tights) are
sheer, close fitting coverings of the body from the
waist to the
feet, most frequently worn by
women. Like
stockings they are usually made of
nylon. The one-piece pantyhose
garment appeared in the 1960s and provided a convenient alternative to stockings (nylons).The term 'pantyhose' originated in the
United States, referring to the combination of '
panties' (an American term for women's underpants) with sheer
nylon hosiery, meaning they are usually worn without other undergarments. In the
United Kingdom, they are called tights, a term that refers to all such garments regardless of whether they are sheer
lingerie or sturdy outerwear. In the U.S., the term
tights is used for non-sheer garments typically made of a stretchy material like
spandex, and worn during exercise or athletic activity, or as utility clothing.
