{{tropeUseful Notes}}
Perhaps the most common type of outfit in superhero stories. Heroes and villains wearing full body suits of spandex, nylon, or some other fabric (even [[Phlebotinum]]). This was because early superhero outfits were based on the outfits worn by people in the circus, including the bright colors that made them visually distinctive, and it stuck as a tradition, even as the days of the circus waned. Being easier to draw likely didn't hurt either.
 
Its prevalence is why [[Not Wearing Tights]] is named so, no matter what outfit the heroes would be wearing otherwise.
 
It's so common that even with the [[Nineties Anti -Hero]], tights would still be common, especially since they can allow for a [[Form -Fitting Wardrobe]].
 
Also, adaptations will have to worry about [[Spandex, Latex, or Leather]], as the materials for the tights are often vague.
 
Often paired with [[Superheroes Wear Capes]], [[Cool Mask]], [[Underwear of Power]].
 
Compare [[Spy Catsuit]], [[Leotard of Power]], [[Mini -Dress of Power]], [[Coat, Hat, Mask]], [[Painted -On Pants]], [[Sensual Spandex]].
 
''This is [[Omnipresent Trope|so common]] it would be easier to list superheroes that '''don't''' wear tights, but even those would be covered by other tropes. So instead examples should be on work pages.''
