It is always confusing for me to tell tights, leggings, and stockings. Whatever it is, I prefer thigh-high or crotchless tights for hygienic reasons. I also like to wear fishnet tights, as I do not need to worry about being torn. Overall, I mostly wear silk stockings in winter because it is relatively warm here around the year. In spring and fall, I sometimes wear leggings.
