What's the difference: tights, stockings, pantyhose?
I read some questions from people who were obviously from the U.K. In the U.S., stockings go up to the thigh, pantyhose are usually sheer and have a "panty" portion and legs attached, and tights are not sheer but opaque.
What are the definitions of tights and such in the U.K.?
I don't know about in the UK or US... but the impression that I have always had... until a recent "clothing" chat with a friend... was that stockings were what pre-WW2 women wore, with garters... that eventually were replaced by nylons, which - even then- were in short supply during the war.
When pantyhose were invented, they got their name from the "panty" portion that eliminated the need for extra accessories to hold them up (i.e garter belts, garters, etc.).
Tights, to me, used to be what young female children wore. But that has expanded and more and more women are enjoying the freedom of color and the extra warmth that tights allow during the winter.
So, in a nutshell (the size of Miami): stockings require stays or other accessories to hold them up; thigh-highs are nylons that usually go "thigh-high" but do not require additional stays; tights are thicker, generally opaque, and usually with a panty portion; pantyhose are sheer but have a panty portion and therefore do not need additional stays.
Hmmm. Just gotta love women's clothing technology and jargon.
