Our Review

Sometimes you see something and your immediately think “that looks expensive”, that was our first impression with these tights from Hue. The impression continues as you handle the delightfully smooth soft material.

Being more objective these are nicely made tights, but in common with most, if not all, US made pantyhose the seams are not flat.  The seams are however of a very high quality.  There is a lined gusset and the legs are shaped a little at the heel.  The toes are lightly reinforced with a high quality seam.

There are three sizes, both 2 and 3 stretching to the same height, size 3 having more scope for width. We tested size 2. Length did not look very generous for tights to fit up to 6’0” tall, but there was enough stretch to just fit a 34” leg.  We would suggest that unless you are very slim size 3 may be a better fit for the tall wearer.

Once on the leg the reinforced toe blends in entirely.  The sheer finish from hip to toe really flatters the legs, the even colour in the black pair tested added to the look of class.  Designing a lace pattern into the transition band between sheer legs and waistband is a nice detail, turning what is a essentially a practical detail into a visual design feature.  

All in all very nice tights.  When you consider the price of $12.00 for two pairs they are excellent value.
