Can you even believe that the tights that girls and women show off now were first worn by men? Since they tightly fit the body from waist to toe, this apparel got the name ‘tights’.

When men shifted their focus from tights to trousers, beautiful tights became a norm to ladies of those times. Nylon tights were sold in millions of pairs during the 1900s. However, after the Second World War, most of the women literally painted seam on their legs to puzzle people. Beautiful women fishnets then came into existence which was profoundly used by performing artists. It was during the early thirties when Fishnets took over the entire globe and earned extra handsome revenue. The singers and entertainers in today’s world still use those pretty and stunning fishnets.

Lycra replaced nylon tights because the latter could not provide as elasticity and tractability as the former offered. This helped in rise of the market for tights as each woman could use it without any size issue. Later, in 1960s, Pretty Polly introduced tights with suspenders which revolutionized the UK and made it the top selling hosiery label.
