Tights are a tight-fitting garment covering the legs, hips and buttocks.
They usually cover the feet (ones that do not are called footless tights) and come up above the waist. Generally they are made from sheer (see-through) nylon, though opaque ones are common. However, they are also available in rubber. They may be of fishnet and may be crotchless.
Modern tights rarely have seams, but seamed tights are still produced for effect; the seam should be at the rear of the leg and as straight as possible.
They are usually regarded as a female garment, but are customarily worn by male ballet dancers; ballet tights are usually made nowadays of nylon or cotton mixed with lycra.
