There are a large number of styles of tights available, making decision hard for the modern lady. So, before answering which style are more popular, it is important to discuss some of the options available in market.

The styles and designs available in tights are wide, ranging from their thickness to the colour. Your choice will depend on the weather and the purpose you intend to fulfil. Of course, there’s also the option of stockings, hold-ups, fishnet and tattoo variations, and so on.

Different styles complement different seasons and outfits, with opaque ones suited for the winter months due to the extra warmth they provide, while thinner pantyhose go better with summer outfits and are cooler for that period of the year.

Stockings or hold-ups take preference over tights in summer, as the latter are quite high at the waist. A person’s job can also play a role in their preference, with tights more suited for the active lifestyle, while stockings should do the needful in an office environment.

Then there’s the office dress code that needs to be considered. Even though rules seem to be less dictated, conservative workplaces will have women go for tights, rather than their preference of stockings.

As far as popularity of a type goes, that comes down to factors like season and outfit. After all, you wouldn’t expect to see warm wool tights in the middle of summer, or a colour that is rather bright for the clothing worn and causing one to look weird.

There’s also the personal taste that has a say in choice. For some people tights are easier than stocking in terms of wearing, while others stick to hold-ups being the only easy type of hosiery to put on.

So, not an easy question to answer! Popularity will vary from time to time, which is why women taken the sensible option of keeping several types and styles in their wardrobe; you never know what the outfit may call for!
