tights

One-piece stretch covering for the feet, legs, and hips to the waist, worn by women, usually made of nylon, silk, or wool. Derived from a combination of panties and stockings, tights were introduced in the late 1950s and have almost become an indispensable feature of a woman's wardrobe. They are available in a wide range of textures, colours, and patterns.
