Our Review

This first thing you notice about these tights is the set of bands around the leg near the top of the thigh. These are the transition from the sheer legs to the heavy brief. Quite a pretty feature that has much in common visually with the top of hold up stockings.

The legs are shaped and finished with a reinforced toe. The brief has quite long “legs” and is finished with flat seams and a cotton gusset. Interestingly the inside of the brief is shinier than the outside. The waistband is about 3cm deep and carries the Elbeo motif.

20 Denier, 80 % Nylon, 19 % Lycra, 1% Cotton. Price: £9.10

Our test pair was in size III, this was quite long enough for a 34” leg. The transition between the legs and panty works very well with no constriction.  The graduated compression in the leg is quite apparent, as is the tummy control and bottom lift of the brief, all this is achieved without feeling too tight. The size chart can be relied upon to give the right fit.

The legs look very good, there is no hint that these are support tights.  The finish is not as smooth and soft as could be wished, but these are tights you wear for what they do for your figure and how they look.

Elbeo are masters of support hosiery, we have no hesitation in recommending these tights if you are on your feet all day or need a little shaping around the hips.
