Pantyhose
Like stockings, knee and ankle-highs, pantyhose are usually made of nylon. Pantyhose are designed to, be fashionable, ease chafing between the foot and footwear, or between thighs, keep the legs and feet warm, hide physical imperfections such as blemishes, bruises, scars, hair, or varicose veins. Besides being worn as fashion, in Western society pantyhose is sometimes worn by women when formal dress is required. For example, the dress code of some companies and schools require pantyhose or fashion tights to be worn when skirts or shorts are worn or as part of a uniform. The term pantyhose originated in the United States to refer to the combination of panties (an American English term for women's underpants) with sheer nylon hosiery. In British English, they are called tights, a term that refers to all such garments regardless of whether they are sheer lingerie or sturdy outerwear. In American English the term tights may refer to pantyhose made from thicker, often opaque, material or alternately to non-sheer garments typically made of a stretchy material like spandex which do not necessarily cover the feet and is common with either gender during athletic activity or as utility clothing. In British English they are called leggings. Article Directory: http://www.articledashboard.com Visit Wicked Appeal for sexy dress including pretty lingerie and sexy bedroom costumes |
