In the 1920s women wore all different kinds of what we call tights but what they refer to as stockings. Women would wear stockings under dresses of shorter pants. They would wear tan colored ones with black seams during the day. Then for the evenings they would wear light pastel or sheer colored tights under their dresses. Today we wear a lot of black and darker colored tights if we wear them at all. A lot of times we don’t wear tights. In todays world woman's legs are shown a lot more. If we wear tights at all it's only because it’s winter. There are also printed tights that a lot of women wear. It makes your outfit look more put together when there’s some design to it too. Women will also wear tall socks scrunched down to ankle length and wear booties with a dress to make the outfit look better as a whole but also at the same time makes it look not as dressy. You can style and do all sorts of different things with tights.
