Our Review

It has been some time since we reviewed any tights from Philippe Matignon as the brand was withdrawn from the UK market some years ago.  Fortunately one of our newly recruited reviewers lives in a country where they are still available so we are hopeful of seeing more styles from this quality brand in due course.   Our new reviewer chooses to contribute under a pseudonym, Filodoro, which purely by coincidence is the name of the parent company of Philippe Matignon.

This is what they had to say: “Philippe Matignon Intensite Summer ultra pantyhose with floral pattern and back seam design, feels like 10 denier. Fully shaped legs, flat seam in the panty, sheer to waist, sandal toe, cotton gusset, comfort waistband.

As you stretch the tights ready to put them on they feel very soft indeed, a feeling that continues once you have them on, they feel so soft and sheer that you don't even remember that you are wearing hose. One of those must have hose in the drawer, perfect for showing off with mini skirt in the summer time”

For no reason that we can see the natural colour pair felt softer than the black.

As you can see from the pictures the fit is perfect and the pattern is a very sophisticated design that really shows off your calf and ankle.  The seam runs perfectly straight and really flatters the leg, we love the flower detail at the top of the seam. 

You do need to take care when soothing the tights up your leg to make sure that you get he seam straight.

You can judge for yourself whether the pattern looks better on a natural or black background as Filodoro very kindly brought a friend for a comparative picture.

There are five sizes from extra small to extra large, all except the extra large have the cotton gusset, the extra large size has a comfort rear panel.

It is clear that the style and quality of Philippe Matignon is as good as ever.
