Are Leggings Tights?
I used to confuse these two terms back in the day but leggings are made of thicker fabric that is not see-through while tights are sheer and lighter in weight. In my opinion, tights are stockings because of how they cover the entire foot while leggings end at the ankles. Both will hug your skin and can be worn as pants or under skirts and dresses. Leggings also have a wide and elastic waist band and can be low or high waisted if looking for tummy control. Tights can show your undergarments and may not be appropriate to wear in professional environments.
