Beauty, style, and elegance are invariably given to the wardrobe, in which one of the places is firmly occupied by such an element of clothing as stockings and tights.
Opinions are divided about which of these items of clothing is better, which is more comfortable and practical.
Let's compare stockings and tights to determine which to choose in different situations.
Uniqueness of species
Tights and stockings have a number of characteristics and differ according to criteria such as:
- material;
- size;
- style;
- model;
- functionality.
Each type can harmoniously fit into the image and advantageously emphasize the uniqueness of the figure and satisfy physiological needs.
Advantages and benefits of stockings
Stockings are clothing for the legs that cover them almost completely. Current models have an elastic insert, often with silicone, which allows you to firmly hold the product on your leg. An addition to stockings is a belt, which often serves a decorative function and sets a certain tone.
If weather conditions permit, then stockings may be an option. There is no need to remove them every time, for example, if you want to adjust your underwear or perform hygienic procedures.
When circumstances require a certain dress code, and It's hot outside, this type of clothing will create the most comfortable conditions.
Stockings add aesthetics to the look, hide possible problem areas (spider veins), and make the skin texture clear, elastic and even.
Reference. The higher the linear density of the fibers (Den), the more pronounced the tightening effect when wearing stockings.
Advantages and benefits of tights
Tights are a great option for escaping the cold. Thanks to the variety of models, this becomes possible at any temperature drop.
Women of all ages prefer tights. And they suit almost everyone, not just beautiful ladies. Kids, growing out of rompers, switch to tights. Men use them as an alternative to thermal underwear/underpants. There is also a specialized line of products for men involved in choreography.
The off-season or winter are periods when it is almost impossible for ladies to do without tights. Lovers of skirts or ladies who prefer trousers use tights as the easiest option to create a comfortable body temperature and prevent hypothermia.
Tights are more diverse in fiber composition. For the cold season, products made from natural fabrics (wool, cashmere, cotton) or with a high content of them are relevant.
Nylon, spandex, polyamide, microfiber and their analogues predominate in models suitable for spring and autumn. Thin, low-density tights can also be used in summer if necessary.It is difficult to deny the fact that the leg under the nylon looks more attractive.
Products conceal skin imperfections on the legs. Therefore, provided you make the right choice, the appearance only benefits.
Tights keep the hip area warm, which is one of the types of prevention of problems of the genitourinary system.
If there is a need to enhance the tightening or corrective effect, tights will help with this. You just have to take a closer look at the composition. A combination of elastic and polyamide in a ratio of 25:75, with a density of 30–40 Den, will have average stretching properties. Lycra content of 5% or more is present in almost all hosiery and gives elasticity. Elastane, spandex and lycra have similar properties.
Stockings or tights: what to choose
The number of admiring glances these legs receive will depend on the correct wardrobe, including clothing for the legs. Comfort and convenience also play an important role.
Let's try to figure out together how to choose the right product.
What to choose for everyday use
Stockings are preferable if:
- It's going to be a romantic evening.
- A party is planned in a place where there is access to a public toilet.
- It's too hot outside/indoors, but legs should be covered for perfect style.
- The company/office dress code requires wearing long skirts, and during the day, wearing tights makes your body swell.
- Under a thin, tight-fitting outfit, wearing tights can give out their presence with an upper edging - an elastic band, standing out as an outline through the dress.
The choice in favor of tights will be correct when:
- It's cold outside.
- There is a need to fit the legs, hips and tummy into a single silhouette (this looks especially good in high-waisted models).
- The selected set of clothes has shorts or a short skirt (models with shorts will not work).
- You need to hide problem areas on the hips, buttocks, and abdomen.
Tights will make your legs more tanned if you choose the right shade, smooth out the texture and keep you warm. Thanks to the wide variety of models, you can always look fashionable and stylish in tights.
What to wear under a wedding dress
On a special day, every bride strives for perfection, and her outfit takes a special place.
When making a choice in favor of a certain type, several points should be taken into account.
- Time of year, weather, climate. As well as the route that the wedding procession will have to take, the number of places designated for photo sessions. Agree, on a frosty day tights are preferable. And for a summer wedding, you can choose stockings, especially considering their weightlessness (7-8 Denier).
- Own preferences. Some girls are so used to tights that they feel unusual and uncomfortable in stockings. It seems to them that the products are constantly falling off and twisting.
Advice. After listening to the opinions of your friends and family, try to determine for yourself what is best for you before the wedding. To do this, walk around for a few days not only in tights, but also in stockings, and then compare your sensations.
- Future husband's opinion. Also an important factor. It's no secret that men tend to choose stockings! Why not give your chosen one additional pleasure?
What to choose for medicinal purposes
Compression stockings and tights are therapeutic products.
Many women are familiar firsthand with symptoms such as cramps, heaviness in the legs, swelling, spider veins and swollen veins in the legs.Such manifestations require the participation of specialists in the medical field, who, in addition to drug treatment, also prescribe supportive therapy in the form of compression garments.
Important: Compression tights and stockings are designed for use by both women and men.
If the phlebologist did not prescribe a specific type of hosiery for you, but allowed you to choose on your own, it is useful to find out reviews from other patients.
Compression tights have only one advantage: keep you warm in cold weather. Therefore, in winter many people use them.
Compression stockings have proven to be much more comfortable for many patients.
- Their easier to put on. And the procedure of putting on compression hosiery is not easy, it requires effort and skill.
- They do not put pressure on the stomach. Many women in tights experienced discomfort from squeezing the abdominal area. And for the postoperative period, even minimal pressure on this area is undesirable.
- Stockings hold firmly, thanks to silicone rubber bands. And tights create a feeling of slipping and twisting.
- In stockings more convenient to go to the toilet.
Important: special models of compression tights with elastic inserts in the abdominal area have been developed for pregnant women.
At the same time, one cannot fail to note the main thing: Both types of products have a healing effect.
Tights, unlike stockings, are a complete, more attractive and comfortable invention. Tights not only cover and decorate a woman’s legs, they extend further, and are put on her intimate parts, covering and gently tightening them. This factor is significant - it creates insulation and pleasant sensations for a woman, through the nylon, making her look more desirable. That’s why I like it when a woman is in tights, and not in stockings.
I'm a man and I like women in black tights. It is very beautiful, feminine and always attracts attention (if it emphasizes the perfect shape of the legs). I just want to follow this woman to contemplate her legs, covered with black nylon, to touch and stroke them, to lift her skirt and look higher at the beauty hidden and continuing there under her, right down to her intimate parts. Dear women - always wear tights, this will make you more desirable, attractive and charming to us men!
What does the author of the article prefer to wear? Interesting to know.
I'm a guy and I like women and girls in tights (just without any patterns or fishnets...)
I read on the Internet that some girls even experienced intimate aesthetic pleasure from wearing nylon tights without putting on panties under them. I wonder if anyone knows? Stunning, all this makes tights an attractive invention. This may be one of their purposes: not only to decorate and warm parts of a woman’s body, but also to bring a feeling of tenderness, affection, excite and give her pleasant sensations.
Girls and women, who tried to wear tights like this without putting panties under them, on a naked body, what sensations did you experience from the tight contact of the nylon to your private parts, did you like wearing it like this? Or maybe someone’s friends or acquaintances have tried to wear it like this, write, who knows. I’m not a pervert, but I think it’s very attractive to dress like this, even when going out, and put panties on top, over tights. I wonder what it will feel like while squatting, walking fast ? To feel this tenderness of translucent nylon not only flowing over your legs, but desperately put directly on your feminine charms - so feminine and for us men this is the pinnacle of ecstasy!
Seeing tights on a woman, a girl, is a man’s dream and desire. Nylon tights through which the body is visible are generally an attractive and feminine element of clothing. I am partial to tights because they adorn not only a woman’s legs, but are also worn on her private parts, in front covering the treasured triangle between the legs and the back of the butt. At the same time, the tights here are also see-through and if you don’t wear panties under them, they will make you look insanely desirable.
Definitely for tights, they cannot be compared with stockings. Comfortable, attractive, practical. I adore women who love to wear and wear tights, even if they are not visible under trousers or jeans. The very realization that she is wearing nylon tights does not leave me indifferent as a man. I really like this element of women's clothing, one of the most intimate because...put on her legs and above her feminine charms, the tights gently hug them, as if becoming one with the woman’s body. When putting on tights, a woman should experience real pleasure, should feel like a real woman!
(reply to Max). My friend told me that she put on nylon tights without panties and after 15 minutes she came in them, unable to bear the tickling of her hairs from fast walking. I myself later tried to wear it like that, but I didn’t feel anything like that, although it really did tickle a little. Well, what about sensitivity? and everyone’s location is different. Maybe someone can get something from this. Here! 🙂
My wife constantly wears nylon tights without a gusset on her naked body and says that she experiences strong arousal. So I think this is quite possible!
Stockings with suspenders are a shame, I don’t like the way they look at all. And those that stay on your feet, thanks to the elastic band that clasps tightly at the end, look better, but it digs into the body so much that when worn for a long time, it rubs and causes irritation of the skin - this is a minus. Therefore, stockings are impractical for everyday use. Tights are another matter - they can be worn all the time, they are comfortable and in most cases do not cause any complaints.
Beauty, not shame!
Auntie, you are a collective farm... Alas.
Elena, thanks for the article, but, of course, tights are much more comfortable and practical. Statistics confirm this: most women choose tights for everyday use.As a man, I also really like it when a woman wears tights and not stockings. And I think you can wear them, regardless of whether she came out in a dress or trousers today. It's always beautiful, feminine and sexy! In this regard, I even envy you, women, a little, because for you the feeling of this delicate tightness of nylon tights on your legs and private parts is naturally an everyday reality. Walking in them is quite pleasant and every real woman deserves it! Tights symbolize feminine honor. They are also an instrument of seduction, which simply cannot end on the legs, but culminatingly be put on the women’s intimate parts; that is why the stockings were complemented by the same translucent shorts made of the same material, the product was technically modified and completed, receiving its name - tights!
I completely agree with you, Dmitry! And it's not just about sexuality. It’s just that it’s much more convenient for us women to wear tights, precisely because the product is produced in the form of panties. The stockings constantly fell down and twisted, I remember how I suffered with them in my youth, but in the tights they fit firmly on the torso, also preventing hypothermia in the intimate parts. The undoubted advantage of tights is that they are simply designed to be worn with miniskirts, or even allow you not to use this lower part of clothing at all. What I think is relevant for youth style. For example, I wear tights without a skirt with a long sweater.
