I used to always think girls in black stockings looked really good,
but later I learned,
the ones I thought looked good were all leggings.
Background
One spring some time ago,
while strolling on the street with my girlfriend,
I exclaimed:
“No wonder so many men love black stockings,
pretty young ladies in black stockings really do look good.”
My girlfriend gave me a look of disdain:
“What you think are black stockings
are actually all leggings.”
Me: “Huh?! ?! ?!”
My young self’s understanding of black stockings was simple:
“Worn on the legs,
black,
looks silky,
that should be black stockings.”
Then my girlfriend asked me:
“Do you know the difference between black stockings, pantyhose, leggings, and skinny pants?”
“……What what what? Can you ask again…”
“Do you know the difference between black stockings, pantyhose, leggings, and skinny pants?”
“……Oh oh oh, I know skinny pants!
Tight pants!
Rock musicians love them especially!
Like Wang Feng’s kind!”
Later my girlfriend explained a bit to me,
combined with wiki etc.,
I’ll briefly summarize the differences between these terms:
Stockings
Stockings are silk socks,
black stockings are black-colored stockings.
Doesn’t this sentence have a nice rhythm,
feels like at any moment I’ll be seeking the light.
Generally stockings are quite sheer,
girls with bushy leg hair,
if they don’t shave their leg hair,
wearing light-colored stockings is easily not good-looking.
So from this angle,
black stockings are more popular.
Plus black is slimming.
Pantyhose
Pantyhose can actually be considered a kind of stockings,
not being able to tell them apart isn’t your fault.
Pantyhose are stockings shaped like pants,
ordinary stockings are socks,
they’re a pair of two.
Pantyhose are just one piece,
they’re connected together.
Leggings
First, leggings are definitely different from safety pants.As an audience member of the dance section,
I probably know safety pants well
Leggings are long pants,
it seems originally their function was similar to safety pants,
both were for layering to prevent exposure.
But because some leggings are comfortable to wear,
they also naturally became long pants worn on their own.
The black thin pants that pretty young ladies wear on the street in spring and autumn,
actually a lot of them are leggings.
Skinny pants
Yep, the kind of pants Wang Feng wears.
Summary
My girlfriend looked at my explanations above,
said my summary was good,
but my understanding wasn’t right:
nowadays most stockings are also connected together,
pantyhose are thicker than stockings.
Me:
ToT not listening not understanding not learning not looking,
too complicated.
I only know
that I don’t like black stockings after all,
I like leggings.
