Our Review

When announced this style was available in a range of colours including Black, Prune, Brown and Petrol; the last two of these colour are modelled by Stacey for you to take a closer look.  Such has been the popularity of this very funky winter style that at the time of writing only black and brown remain and they are in short supply.

The construction of these tights is quite straight forward, almost basic.  The straight legs have a smooth finish like a typical 40 denier opaque and carry the printed snowflake pattern from the lightly reinforced toe all the way to just below the crotch.  The boxer style panty is plain and a more open knit than the legs, it has no gusset just a central seam, not flat but well finished. 

The packet carries the standard Red or Dead size chart but it is not relevant to this style as they are made in one size only.  As you can see from the manufacturer’s own photo above and our gallery to the right the one size fits all really does seem to work in this case... Stacey is 5’10” and very long in the leg and found the fit to be perfect.

Pattern is what these tights are all about and we are pleased to be able to say that it works exceptionally well.  Unlike some printed patterns it remains vivid and well defined even when stretched.  Depending on the colour it can look quite sophisticated or just plain fun.  Even after wearing the pattern was perfect with no cracking of the printing.

We did think that £9 was a bit steep for simply constructed one size tight at first but the purpose of hosiery is to look good and to feel good and this aim is achieved so we have no hesitation in recommending that you grab the few remaining pairs.
