What are "tights"?

Tights are a type of skin-tight legwear, usually made of nylon or a blend of synthetic fibers, that covers the wearer's legs from the waist down to the toes. They are similar to pantyhose, but typically thicker and heavier, providing more warmth and coverage. Tights come in a variety of colors and patterns, from basic black to bright neon hues, and can be worn for both fashion and practical purposes, such as providing extra warmth under skirts or dresses during colder weather. They may also have a control top to shape and support the midsection, and some types feature a reinforced toe and heel for added durability.
