This style is revised for 2008 with the addition of flat seams and a cotton gusset and £1.00 on the price. We are delighted at the change of detailing, our review of the older style below picked up on the lack of flat seams. It seems Hudson read our reviews and take heed!
We must be honest and say that we guessed the denier of these leggings as there was nothing on the packet or the web site to give us a clue. They have the same look and feel as other soft matt 40 denier tights we have seen.
If you are a regular hosiery wearer, then it is easy to forget how tricky it was to get your tights on the first time you tried. With tights coming back into fashion in a big way, and more young women than ever starting to wear tights the question of how to get them on is an important one particularly if you are one of those younger women who have a mother who went bare-legged and hasn’t caught up with fashion yet.
As with other seamless tights, these don’t look their best straight from the packet, looking hardly long enough to reach your knees. The material is soft though, and the deep ventilated waistband promises to hold them in place whether you wear it at hip or waist level.
We only noticed when we came to review these tights that US-based brand Hosieree called these “tights” rather than “pantyhose” which we would have expected from an American company. The clue may be that these tights are from a US-based brand, but they are made for them in Italy.
We love the packaging of these pantyhose (pantyhose, not tights as Hanes are from the USA). A classically simple picture of the hosiery on the front and a full description and size chart on the back.
We can only write one review to cover all three of these designs as the tights themselves are the same with just the artwork being different. To write two reviews would be like looking at two Rembrandt paintings and writing at length about the canvass they were printed on.
Transparent, natural look, sheer to waist with micromesh-panty, comfortable border.
The first impression you have of these tights is that they look very sheer on the card; the second impression is that they feel very soft too.
Elbeo is a very well-established brand and has provided ladies with many years of support legwear. At one point in time, you could be forgiven for thinking that this brand only serviced the more mature woman. But things are very different now
What you do with the hair on your legs depends very much on the hand you were dealt with by your genes. Those of you with naturally fair hair and fine hair on your legs can, and probably should, count your blessing and leave well alone. At the other end of the scale, if you have heavy dark hair then you will need a routine to keep it in check
