It could also be said that stockings or hold-ups will be favoured in summer over high-waist tights, and equally the job the person has will to some extent state which one is preferable. Tights, for example, will be more appropriate than stockings for someone who has an active job, whereas a woman may prefer to wear stockings in an office environment where they don’t have to move around quite so much. The style of dress expected in the workplace should also be given some thought when choosing tights. Stockings are known to be sexier so if you wish to be more conservative then choose tights. Although these types of rules are less common these days, than they once were they are still seen in some workplaces.

So which is the most popular style of tights? The answer will undoubtedly have to take into account the factors already mentioned. The time of year will have a huge impact, as a woman is hardly likely to prefer wool tights in the height of summer! The outfit she wants to wear will also have an effect, with some outfits being more suited to brighter coloured tights while others may look better and call for muted or natural tones.
