Our Review

We frequently describe ultra sheer tights as “summer tights but it is quite rare for the makers to use this term.  Here they have used the term and they named the style St.Tropez too just so you are no doubt that these are tights for warm sunny days.

Unlike some summer tights these come in a range of colours to suit all skin tones so if you are from a cooler less sunny country and it is early in the season you can pick a shade either to simply add a sheen to your skin, or one to add a little extra colour. Of course you can go for the full summer tights effect and slip on a tan that looks like you just spent two weeks in the Caribbean.

Five sizes are available, all with unlined gussets.  The largest size has a comfort gusset/rear panel that is 7cm wide at the waistband.

As you would expect of 10 denier summer tights these are very light indeed.  The detailing is quite simple, sheer to waist with sandal toes, straight legs and just the narrowest of reinforced strips either side of the seams and around the gusset. The gusset is the same weight as the reinforced part of the leg. The heavier material continues into a finger band to give a smooth strong transition to the simple waistband.  The seams in the panty are unremarkable, we would have much preferred a flat detail, but at the price it is understandable why this was not done.

Sizing is accurate and the fit is near perfect.  There is a delicious sheen to the finish so that if you get the right colour the look will me more one of perfect lightly oiled skin rather than hosiery.

Excellent summer tights that we are happy to recommend.
