In the US, when pantyhose first came out, they had a panty that was of different material, and were designed to be worn without any other underwear. But this didn’t last very long. Today, pantyhose is of lower denier, anything from very sheer to slightly opaque. And most are worn over a pair of panties.
Tights are of a higher denier, and are usually made differently. They are usually opaque or nearly opaque. Tights are worn by young girls (often white), in the winter time, or by male ballet dancers. If a pair of tights gets a small hole, it often will not run.
