Our Review

Levante make these tights in just two sizes, one to cover their usual small and medium sizes, the other to cover tall and extra tall.  We are not quite sure how fishnets can be described as sheer, let alone sheer to waist, but we will see.

When you take these tights from the packet they look just like most other fishnets we have looked at.  They are knitted in one piece with just small seams at each toe and the crotch.  There is no gusset and simple elastic waistband.

As is often the case with fishnets they initially look quite small but the construction and high Lycra content provide a huge amount of stretch. In this case the result is a very good fit, and an even distribution of the net pattern to give a good even colour if looked at from a distance.  These are classic fishnets, not the maxi-net or micro-net tights we have seen a lot of in the past few years. 

A very nice and reasonably priced example of fishnet tights.  Our tester expressed a preference for wearing over nude sheer tights in daytime, and suggested combining with coloured sheers/semi-opaques for parties.  We had to agree that the nude sheers under did seem to improve the look.
