Our Review

Suspender tights seem to have always been around but never been a major fixture in any maker’s range.  In theory they provide the perfect compromise between tights and stockings but some argue that they have the worst features of both.

These tights are sized M/L so sizing for the tallest and smallest may be an issue.

As soon as you open the packet you see the laced edging to the suspender portion.  You then notice that the sheer material of the leg stops 2cm below the bottom of the suspender.  There is no garter design just a change in fibre weight.

The legs of these tights look and feel very smooth and soft.  Leg length looks a little short.

As with all suspender tights you need to be organised putting them on, make sure they are not twisted and be certain to put your feet though the waistband, don’t just go straight for the legs. 

Our concerns about length were quite unfounded, there is enough length for a 34” leg and the suspenders are long enough for the waistband to sit correctly.  The feel on the leg is reasonably smooth and the finish is attractive.  These are very comfortable tights to wear and ideal for hot weather.

As with the Leg Avenue Garter Pantyhose the reinforced toe precludes wearing with open toed shoes.
