Our Review

The quality of these tights is apparent as soon as you open the packet, very smooth and soft in the hand.  The detailing is excellent with a fully shaped leg, flat body seams and a cotton lined gusset.

Jonelle Barely There Tights

7 Denier, 64 % Nylon, 35 % Lycra, 1 % Cotton, Price: £4.00

The very fine material has a definite silken sheen, something about the look makes you want to get these tights on your legs as soon as possible.

The packet information regarding the brief is incorrect, these are sheer to waist tights with only very light reinforcement either side of the body seams. The waistband is about 3 cm deep.

The fit is like a coat of paint from the sheer sandal toes to the waistband. In the nude colour tested you can hardly see that the lady has any tights on at all.  But if you are wearing these tights you certainly do know that they are there.  They are incredibly smooth and soft to the touch, and when you move your legs they seem to caress your skin.

The sizing chart, which is a matrix of UK dress size and height give a very accurate measure of fit.  Although as ever if you have slim legs you will be able to get a little more length.

Ideal for summer but suitable for any season.  Highly recommended.
