Our Review

The first impression you get from these tights is of very long hiking socks, both in look and feel.

Opening them up fully reveals a long brief section which is finished with flat seams and an unlined gusset. The brief is plain knit and this finish extends about 2” down each leg where it switches to a textured pattern.

The straight legs looked quite short, this was confirmed when they were tried on, if you have more than a 28” leg these tights will be too short.

If you do fit within the very tight sizing limits then you should try a pair.  They feel warm and comfortable and although borrowing a little styling wise from classic ribbed tights they are nothing like anything you will have worn to school.  These tights are proof that you can be warm, comfortable and stylish all at once!
