Our Review
Some tights are made for a specific season, and some go further and even tell you on the packet which season... these are summer tights. OK so it is still March but it is a bright sunny day and we didn’t need any more excuse to try them.
 We are testing size 4 which has a 7cm wide rear central panel or comfort gusset as some other brands call them, the larger size 5 extends this to 14cm.
At 10 denier it is no surprise that these tights feel very light out of the packet, just how light they are you fully appreciate when you open them out, They are super fine and sheer to waist, the only hint of reinforcement between the sandal toe and the finger band is a narrow band against the flat seams in the panty and the central rear panel.
Take care to stretch these tights slowly and evenly up your legs and you will be rewarded with a perfect skin tight fit and an instant tan on your legs. The look really is not one of hosiery at all, you really would need to be quite close to see the material. You of course will know they are there, they are deliciously smooth and soft on your legs. If you cross your legs, and you will, your secret will be out to anyone close enough to hear as these tights make the most delightful swish.
Well made and deceptively strong we have no hesitation in recommending Cecilia de Rafael Miami Tights.
Pricing may fluctuate depending on where you live, these are Spanish made but we sourced them in the USA and reviewed them in the UK. Whatever your local price they are worth a try for this summer
