cotton gusset
The cotton gusset - sewn into the inside of the tights. Allows better hygiene and also reduces the friction of the fabric on the skin.
For the brands Fiore and Gabriella Usually size S is without cotton gusset and larger sizes have cotton gusset.

The first photo is a zoom but as you will see in the other two photos the gusset is not really visible when you are wearing the tights
Unusual tights - with pattern:
Pattern along the entire length of the tights - many pattern tights from the Gabriella brand have the pattern along the entire length.
Pattern on the legs but not on the panty - normally Fiore patterned tights do not have a pattern on the panty, but there are some new models that have a pattern on the panty as well.
And last but not least, crotchless tights - tights with an open crotch
