Skirts were short and leg hair was long so tights had to have full coverage- not sheer. When wearing a matching color wasn’t possible, many women wore textured knit tights in white or black. Tall knee-high socks were another option: chunky knit socks in winter, and light lace weaves in summer. Checks, stripes, herringbone, dots, chevron… you name, it 1960s stockings and tights came in it.
