Our Review

Levante is on of our all time favourite brands, they were producing cutting edge designs when many companies were just making sheers and opaques.   The simplicity of this geometric design caught our eye straight away and we just love the colour of the pair in the picture.

There are three sizes to choose from but happily for taller people the choices are medium, tall and extra tall; to fit heights up to 5’7”, 5’9” and 6’1” respectively.

Taking these tights from the packet is a treat for the senses, strong yet smooth and soft to the touch, lightly perfumed and of course ever so pretty.

The legs are straight and finished with a plain semicircular toe detail.  The sheer legs with their opaque design run all the way to the plain finger band.  The panty has a cotton lined gusset and flat seams, the seams are bounded by a reinforced strip that joins the finger band to make a “T”. 

Sizing is spot on and the fit is excellent from hip to toe.  Colour in both the sheer background and the opaque “brix” is strong and even.

The design is what makes these tights really stand out, a little effort is needed to get the lines straight and vertical but it is worth it.  From the toes to the hips the opaque bars/brix get progressively longer and narrower, visually this lengthens and slims the legs. If you have admirers who like mathematics this design will probably excite them on other levels too!

Great design, well made and we just love the aubergine colour.
