Secondly rather than coming in a flat packet on a card you get three pairs in a box 7.5x7.5x11.5 cm (3x3x4.5 inches). This may not look spectacular but it does save on waste packaging and from a practical point of view it means you can keep the box with two spare pairs in your office, in your car or even in your handbag if you are following the fashion for large bags.

If we were to be critical it would be nice if the tights were individually wrapped inside the box.  Anyway taking one pair off the roll you see that these tights are made with straight legs and a boxer style brief.  The toes are reinforced and are connected to the leg with a run stop so a ladder in the toe won’t go on up into the leg. The boxer brief has the comfort gusset already mentioned and good quality, but not flat, seams.

Although 100% nylon the knit does give plenty of stretch and fit is good, but there is a tendency to sag a little with wear.  The crepe finish is entirely matt.  Colour is even and these tights feel nice as well as looking nice on the leg.  The brief won’t win any awards for sexiness but sizing and the absence of Lycra mean that you will not feel constricted wearing them.

Good everyday tights, nice if you need a larger size without spending a fortune.
