[edit] Picture

I won't remove the picture without discussion, but I think we can find a better one. The one on there now looks like a guy wearing it and you can kind of see his thing underneath the fabric. Surely a better picture of an obviously clothed female could be provided? Opinions? -Husnock 20:43, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

"his thing"? You would prefer a camel-toe? -unsigned anon user

I replaced the photo with one thats hows three different versions of tights: sheer, semi-opaque, and heavy opaque. It was promptly removed by someone as "inappropriate" which I dont understand. Its not vulgar, no nudity, and the women in the photo are mid 20s and not minors. I think the photo up there now is good for the article, although on some computers when i load the page I get a little red "x". Hmmm. -Husnock 22:41, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Better picture of women's tights?

I think it's important for the article to include a picture of tights as they are most commonly worn for fashion, by women who wear them with a skirt or dress. The current picture is good that way, but is a poor choice for showing what tights look like. For someone in the U.S., the hosiery the woman is wearing is either too sheer to be considered tights, or just barely qualifies as opaque enough. The picture doesn't give a good idea of how tights differ from pantyhose. I'd recommend including a similar picture where the tights are much more opaque, with little skin showing. Hosiery like that would work for everyone, being considered tights in both the U.S and the U.K. The new picture could either supplement or replace the current one. I don't know if I'll be able to find an appropriate picture which satisifies the Wikipedia image guidelines, but I'd encourage someone else who knows of such a picture to add it.
