Wolford Satin Opaque 50 Tights

Wolford Satin Opaque 50 Tights

Opaque tights with an elegant shimmer. Wolford's satin opaque 50 denier tights have an incredibly smooth look and a soft, comfortable waistband.

Our Review

First impressions are that these tights look very much like any other opaques.

Once you touch them the velvety softness is very evident.

Construction is sheer to waist with flat seams, a cotton lined gusset of the same weight as the legs and unreinforced toes.  Surprisingly for Wolford the legs have only minimal shaping at the heel.  The waistband is about 2 cm deep.

Fit is excellent although rather more generous that the size chart would indicate.  If you are tall and slim you can easily stretch these tights to 2-4 inches more height in the larger sizes.

50 Denier, 91 % Nylon, 8 % Lycra, 1 % Cotton, Price: £17.00

The satin finish is quite understated, such that the difference between these tights and Wolford’s Velvet De Luxe 50 is minimal.

Very nice tights, but as with other high end opaques we are not sure that they offer good value for money compared to lesser brands.
