Our Review

The inner card packaging feels as uninspiring as it looks, but as soon as you touch the tights the packet is forgotten. Smooth, soft and silky they feel divine.

As you would expect at this price the seams are perfectly flat and there is a well sized and finished silk lined gusset.  No need for underwear with these tights.

Sheer to waist of course with an elastic waistband bearing the Fogal motif.  The same type of waistband we liked so much on Gerbe tights. The knitted in heel is sheer rather than reinforced, the reinforced toe also looks quite sheer.

20 Denier, 87 % Nylon, 8 % Lycra, 5 % Silk, Price: £33.50

We were advised by Fogal that the leg length are not great, and this appears to be the case when you stretch them.  As you put these tights on you struck both by how closely they fit, and how well they stretch, if your are slimly built the large size will fit to 34” leg perfectly. The heel position is such that it will fit exactly even if you have less than dainty feet.

Satin is the perfect word to describe both the look and feel on the leg.  The look exceeds even that of the Wolford Satin and Neon ranges for pure “touch me” sexiness.

Despite being ever so smooth to the touch these tights sound delightful when you cross your legs.

Utterly stunning tights with a perfect fit.  The best we have ever tried and very probably worth every penny of the £33.50 they cost.
