Our Review
Since they were first introduced into the UK Fiore tights have gradually increased in price but with the general increase in prices over the same period they are still one of the less expensive brands... and lets face it they used to be terribly underpriced.
For just under £6 you get sheer to waist tights with T-band reinforcement in the panty, plus in sizes 3&4 you get a gusset too. The legs are not shaped but they are finished with a near invisible sandal toe.
Described as patterned tights these are really sheers with a motif, the only patterning is the tiny leaf and flower design on the outside of each calf. And we love that little detail, it separates these tights from the pack of standard sheers and adds a lovely little touch of fascination.
Fit is good and the colour is even giving a good background to show off the motif.
Unusually for Fiore the sizing is on the short side. Our test pair was labelled as size 4 to fit up to a height of 176cm (5’9”) but if you are longer than 29” in the leg (floor to gusset) then you won’t have enough leg length so a good 10-12cm shorter than we would expect from Fiore.
Nice tights that make a change to plain sheers but keep an eye on the sizing. Follow the size chart and go up a size if in doubt about length. They do lack the quality feel of premium brands, let us hope that Fiore are not going off the boil.
