Our Review

Unusually for Falke these tights carry no description on the packet, the comments above are those from Mytights who are the only stockist we know of for these tights.  Incidentally at the time of writing these tights are in their sale.

Our test pair are in black so we can’t say how bright the neon shades are, the packet graphic suggests that they are eye catching.

The easiest way to describe these tights is 20 denier sheer to waist tights with 40 denier panels wrapping around each leg from upper thigh to toe bordered with a white pinstripe.

The body is finished with flat seams and a cotton gusset as we would expect from Falke.  The legs are shaped at the heel and finished with a toe of 40 denier to blend with the front and back of the legs.

We would normally test Falke in size IV or V and the M/L size is size III but we found that there was plenty of stretch so if you normally wear the larger size they will fit beautifully.

The black with white pinstripe detail looks incredibly smart, worn with a predominantly black outfit the two bold white lines up the outside of your legs will make them look inches longer.  The sheer strip between the lines sets these a world apart from mere opaques.

A great piece of design well executed.
