Yes, Tights, Leggings, and Stockings Are All Different

Leggings are a casual pant alternative that fit down to the ankles. "These opaque pant options can be found in lightweight cotton/spandex to heavier knit fabrics like ponte and double knit," says Laurie Brucker, certified image consultant, personal stylist, and speaker. "They are best worn with oversized sweaters and boots for the Winter and in most casual settings." Leggings, like the Tani USA Go Power Leggings ($95), may or may not be appropriate for the office, depending on your profession.
