Our Review

Easter is almost here but we are still a few weeks way from putting away the opaque tights in favour of sheer tights for the summer.  These tights come in a range of pinks, greys and browns that will work in any season.

Two sizes are available, both designed for heights from 4’10” to 5’10” with just your hip measurement determining whether small/medium or medium/large will fit you. We tested a pewter pair in size medium/large.  Aristoc had a few wobbles with sizing a few months ago but we are pleased to report that the sizing of these tights was spot on with enough stretch to take a few liberties if you are a little taller or wider. 

The construction is quite simple with straight legs, boxer brief, raised seams in the panty and a cotton lined gusset. These are comfortable tights that fit well.

There boxer brief is only subtly different from the legs but it would be noticeable if you were wearing shorts or a skirt short enough for this part of the tights to be showing.

The colour is very even and the texture smooth and soft to the touch. 

All in all very nice tights for a very reasonable price, set apart from the average 50 denier tights by the range of colours.  We loved the look of the pewter shade, a great alternative to black whether you are at work or at play.
