When Did Hosiery Start Having Lycra In And Does It Make Tights, Pantyhose And Stockings Look So Much Better?
Tights are seen in the drawers of women from all over the world for many years, however recently tights have seen the introduction of lycra in them, but are there any differences?
The original hosiery was generally less comfortable than it is today. Although called “tights” they were much more loose-fitting, and didn’t give the same level of comfort, shape and support that’s demanded in the current market.
In the early 1900s tights for womenwas mainly confined to stockings made of silk or rayon; only in the 1940s did nylon become the material of choice. It was not until much later that tights as we know them today were seen on the shelves.
In the 1960s the new era of womens tights was born. Lycra was invented, and it was discovered that the properties of it would be extremely useful in modern hosiery. For one thing this introduction made tights so much more comfortable, and it made them a great deal tighter on womens legs.
But women need to ask does it make tights, pantyhose and stockings any better? Typically women all over the world have said that lycra has made a difference to tights. It’s made all types more comfortable and easier to wear on a daily basis, and now women (and men) the world over consider them an essential item of clothing to be used for a variety of uses, outfits and occasions.
So what it is that has made such a difference to tights? One of the main factors is it’s so elastic and stretchy, hosiery clings to the leg more and offers much more support and comfort. It not only makes it more comfortable to wear, but also more appealing to look at. Gone are the days of tights and stockings falling down the leg and crumpling in an unsightly fashion around the ankles; now they hold themselves up and stay there until you decide to take them off.
With lycra in the tights your legs will look more toned and more beautiful. Indeed, many men prefer to glance upon women’s legs in stockings and tights than when they’re bare. It shows legs off at their best, gives them a sexy sheen, and clings to them in all the right places.
With all of this in mind, has the addition of Lycra made tights, pantyhose and stockings better? Many say that yes it has and tights would not be the same today had it not been for lycra. It’s made them shape and cling better to the legs, and has made all types and colours of tights so much nicer to look at. Lycra is something that women who wear tights could not do without.
