Originally pantyhose or tights were worn by men in Victorian times. They were worn like long socks or 'hose'. Women wore a longer version called stockings. As times moved on and women became more liberated, and the discovery of nylon, the hose was developed with a pant or panty attached. Hence pantyhose. Prior to this, silk and cotton stockings were worn.

How do you wear pantyhose in summer heat?
I am one of the people who wear pantyhose all year round. In the summer, you can still enjoy the benefits of pantyhose but you have to choose a very sheer pair of pantyhose. They may be called ultra-sheer, very sheer or summer pantyhose. Summer pantyhose range around 5-15 denier and the materials used and the way they're woven together makes your skin breathe through this pantyhose, also helping in evaporating your sweat. So this kind of pantyhose not only doesn't make you sweat but helps you feel cooler when the weather is hot. Perfect for a summer's night out. Since this type of hosiery is very sheer, it's very delicate and some brands have released pantyhose with increased durability and ladder-free characteristics.
