Our Review

Aristoc Ultra Shine is a classic style with a long history.  As you will see from the packets and review below it has been through a variety of packet designs over the years but the concept, denier and fibre mix have stayed pretty constant. Equally important the price has stayed pretty much the same too.

In the latest incarnation there are 5 colours from a barely there “nude” to a dark tan “illusion” with black and barely black for winter and evenings. Unlike some Aristoc styles the small/medium/large/extra large sizing is maintained.

Sheer to waist with shaping in the leg at the heel and a lightly reinforced toe. The panty has a cotton lined gusset and flat seams.  Either side of the seam is a narrow reinforced strip that is continues into a finger band to give transition to the waistband. You will notice that the toe is not an entirely sheer sandal toe as implied on the packet.

Sizing is accurate and despite being only 10 denier you don’t feel there is any danger of ripping them if you stretch a little more than Aristoc intended.  Fit is very good and the smooth shiny legs have perfect even colour.

These tights should be a staple wardrobe item for anyone who likes a lit of shine on there hosiery, a classic.

Aristoc Ultra Shine Tights

High shine leg, sheer from waist to toe
Ribbed waistband for day-long comfort.
Anatomic design to hold in place
Cotton gusset, Sheer toe

Our Review

Fully shaped leg.
Sandal toe
The gusset is a non-shiny panel from navel to lower back which is not as good as completely sheer to waist. In common with earlier version.
Slight tacky and hard feel, very shiny.
Slightly too short for the fit to be perfect. Quite full in the body.
