High leg patterned brief.

Our Review

The packet design allows you to pretty much see what you are getting, so there are few surprises opening the packet. 

Only when you open these tights out do you see the flat seams, gusset, and shaped heels that reveal the quality. 

The material is soft in the hand and has the appearance of something like 15 denier.

The high leg brief has a nice lacy border and the pinstripe motif of the legs is mirrored in the body design.  The waistband is finished with a scalloped edge, less classy than similar offering from Fogal and Gerbe but a great detail at this price.

Tights to wear without underwear.

Leg length looks pretty good, this is confirmed when you put them on, quite long enough for the longest legs. Good length in the body ensures the waistband sits correctly.

Comfortable tights that fit very well and give a smooth soft finish between the stripes.

15 Denier, 89 % Nylon, 11 % Lycra, Price: £4.99

The description on the Gipsy web site and packet doesn’t really fully describe the design.  These are tights with a pinstripe design from the reinforced toe to a “garter” band near the top of the thigh, quite a broad pinstripe with just 7 verticals around the leg.  On the outside of each leg is a geometric floral pattern that runs up the leg between two of the pinstripes.  Above the “garter” is sheer material that goes up to the panty. You would never mistake the design for real hold up stockings but these are classy sexy tights that look good in their own right.

You could wear the ivory colour we tested for a wedding.  This is the only colour still available, a pity as they look good in black on the Gipsy web site.
