Pantyhose first appeared on store shelves in 1959 for the advertisement of new design panties (Allen Gant's product, 'Panti-Legs') [1] as a convenient alternative to stockings and/or control panties which, in turn, replaced girdles.

In the world of theatre tights are also common, especially in Renaissance-era costumes, and dance, particularly in ballet.
