Definition

Considering the foot is covered or not, legwear are divided to two major groups: Tights & Leggings.

Tights are defined as the garments cover the body from the waist to toes while Leggings are covering from waist to ankles, both stick to the skin normally.

History

Historically, Sticky legwear were common in Renaissance-era (400-500 years ago) in Europe, used by men who need fitting garments for horse riding and fighting. These favorite garments are made from Silk or fine Wool for rich people and coarser fabrics for normal people.

Thanks to production of Nylon fibers in recent decades, Tights are used mostly by women, however in technical purposes like Varicose or Professional Sport Wear they are unisex.
