Our Review

Opaques are in style all year round and although styled for the Autumn/Winter season these rare 200 denier tights will still show your legs off in style.  Here in England you may even need them to keep warm if the weather is like the past two summers.

These one size tights are quite simply constructed, straight legs finished with a reinforced toe detail that includes a run stop to prevent holes in the toes spreading, uniform weight hip to toe and no gusset. 

The glossy finish is quite effective but the thick yarn makes it hard to get an even colour or shine.  We prefer the look of the shine finish to the matt of the microfibre opaques that are so common at present although we must say that the microfibre tights feel softer than these.

Sizing is quite generous but the lack of a gusset and 5% Lycra content do lead a little to be desired in terms of fit.

These are well made tights that feel very strong and durable. If you like heavy opaques then they will be just your thing.
