tights
A one-piece, tight-fitting item of clothing that covers the legs, feet, and lower abdomen and is usually worn by women and girls.
Weil es heute kälter ist, trägt sie zum Rock eine warme Strumpfhose.
Because it's colder today, she's wearing warm tights with her skirt.
The word 'Strumpfhose' (tights) consists of 'der Strumpf' (stocking) and 'die Hose' (trousers/pants). It logically describes a garment that combines the features of stockings and trousers in one piece.
Die Strumpfhose ist eine praktische Erfindung für kalte Tage.
Tights are a practical invention for cold days.
Although a pair of tights covers two legs, the word is used in German as a countable noun in the singular. You say 'eine Strumpfhose' (a pair of tights) for a single garment.
Ich brauche für die Feier noch eine neue Strumpfhose.
I still need a new pair of tights for the party.
In connection with 'eine Strumpfhose' (tights), the verbs 'tragen' (to wear), 'anziehen' (to put on), or 'ausziehen' (to take off) are usually used. They are often worn in combination with a skirt or dress.
Zum neuen Kleid hat sie sich eine passende Strumpfhose angezogen.
She put on a matching pair of tights with her new dress.
