Levante Class (2007)

 

Our Review

Class is a style that endures from season to season, or more correctly a set of styles as Levante class tights are made both in sheer to waist and in regular “boxer” brief style.  Mostly they have reinforced toes, but some are made with a sheer sandal toe.  Read the packets carefully as they use the same picture on all styles.

In previous years we have looked at the sheer to waist version, this time we are looking at the regular brief version in the new 2007 packaging.

Construction is quite basic, boxer style brief as expected, finished with a cotton gusset as expected, but the flat seams of earlier years are gone.  The legs are completely straight and finished with reinforced toes.

Sizing is in line with the published chart, but not overly generous in length.

Fit is excellent with no bagging or sagging, the finish on the leg is slightly glossy with perfectly even colour. Quite smooth to the touch on the leg.  The matt finish brief is quite unremarkable, but these are not tights for occasions when anyone will see.

Good everyday tights, but not the same Class as the sheer to waist version we reviewed previously.

Levante Class Tights

The Class look gives a glossy sheen to leg. So sheer they are crystal clear.

Soft and silky, Class combines the finest of sheer Italian hosiery yarns with the strength and comfort of Lycra®.

Sheer to Waist

Our Review

Levante Class seems to cover quite a variation of styles. The standard available as of now (2004) is the version with a boxer brief and a reinforced toe.
They are not the basic style but a variation that is sheer to waist, although still with a reinforced toe.

It seemed to take ages to get a pair of these for review. The problem was that Helen had them on for work almost as soon they were bought.

First impression on opening the packet is of quality, smooth soft yarn, shaped heel, flat seams and a cotton gusset.

Finish is smooth and glossy, fit is very good.
