Giorgio Armani 40 Den High Gloss Tights

Giorgio Armani 40 Denier High Gloss Tights

There are no packet notes, and just a certificate of authentication in the box.

Our Review

Opening the box reveals a fairly standard polythene packet with the tights on a plain card.  Clearly Armani see their name as marketing enough.

Once you have the tights in your hands things look up considerably.  They are beautifully soft and smooth and have a definite sheen.  The waistband is similar to that seen on Gerbe and Fogal and it carries Giorgio Armani logo.  You may be tempted to show this off above the waistband of your skirt.

Below the waistband is a finger band about 5 cm deep. Beyond that these tights are sheer to waist in design. Flat body seams of course, with minimal reinforcement either side, and a cotton gusset.

40 Denier, 94 % Nylon, 5 % Lycra, 1 % Cotton, Price: £18.00

There is a small amount of shaping at the heel.  The toes are reinforced with a very well made flat seam.

Fit is fantastic, the finish is flawless and the feel is incredibly smooth and soft. Without doubt the best high gloss semi-opaque tights you can buy.  What is apparent is that these are in fact Wolford Neon 40 tights.  The only differences are in the logos on the waistband and the packaging.

Highly recommended if you can find them.
