Did you know that tights ...

Many women wear tights without thinking about their origin and significance in the fashion world. It is simply amazing, but initially they were a component of exclusively male wardrobe. Only in the XVI century, secular fashionistas began to wear silk stockings. But kapron tights appeared much later - only in the middle of the 20th century. The popularity of this wardrobe item is growing every year. There was a fashion for short skirts and dresses, and with them the market was flooded with "nylon". Now this product is publicly available, available in various colors and shades, with a wide variety of textures and weaving.

So, dear fashionistas, do not rush to throw out the torn stockings. From old tights you can do a lot of useful, interesting things with your own hands. They will find application in the garden, in the kitchen, in the nursery and even in the first-aid kit. If they are torn quite a bit, you can wear them just under the jeans. And you can rob a bank (a joke).
