People drool over legwear length constantly. The thighhigh, kneehigh, pantyhose, and hidden sock crowds all have to use the same legwear tag. Crop tops and tank tops got converted to shirts despite the midriff and armpit crowd. I'm sure they don't want to see anything besides what they want. But the 2-tag limit forces them into black_legwear + thighhighs with no other tags available. If this gets rejected, I would seriously question why the others were accepted.

Yeah, this is my primary rationale behind this. As it stands, underpants are the only garment of clothing that does not have a standard color or style tag. Shirts, legwear, headwear, and footwear are all incredibly broad - with legwear in particular being one of the most hyper-fetishized clothing groups out there, yet even that has been consolidated into an umbrella group, even encompassing stuff you wouldn't consider to be "legwear", like ankle socks. When most people think of something you put on your head, you think of a "hat". Yet even that has been been consolidated into "headwear" to include helmets, crowns, and the sort. Most headwear is a hat. There are 15 posts tagged "black helmet", yet 37,000 tagged black_headwear. People are using the "color_headwear" distinction to tag helmet colors. We are considering helmets and hats to be the same thing for the sake of unifying color tags.

Pith helmets and baseball caps are a world apart from each other, yet fall under the same tag. Athletic ankle socks and pantyhose are two very different things, yet fall under the same tag. Briefs are basically just panties with a fly, yet tagging them as [color]_panties would be incorrect. If we can consider a combat helmet and a fez to be the the same thing for tagging, why not panties with or without a fly so we don't have 5 entirely different tags for yellow underpants?
