Leggings and tights are similar garments made from skin-tight fabric that covers the legs. Leggings are made from opaque materials and are usually footless or feature a heel loop to keep them in place. Tights are more sheer than leggings, cover the foot completely, and are worn underneath other clothing, like skirts and dresses. Leggings are generally seen in casual settings, while you can wear tights with formal attire or everyday outfits.
