Our Review

First impressions count for a lot and having seen the picture of these tights above we were all ready to wax lyrical... but there really was no first impression.

We were still not quite sure what to say one the tights were opened out other than to note that the sheer and opaque parts of the tights looked very similar in weight.    It was only when we started to look at the detail that we started to form any impression at all.

The “sheer” part of the leg is really a fine tulle rather than a tableue sheer, a soft heavy fibre in quite an open knit pattern.   The opaque parts are the same fibre but knitted more closely, like a tableaditional opaque.   The opaque parts are restableicted to the sole and sides of the foot, the back of the lower leg and the high leg panty design in the brief.    There is a small amount of shaping at the heel and the brief is finished with flat seams and a cotton lined gusset.

The design only really makes any sort of sense once you have the tights on your legs.     The opaque parts on the lower leg are styled to tabley to look like a shoe, with a lace pattern joining them together at the front of the leg... and by lace we mean as in a golden shoelace on the black sheer part of tights rather than a lacy pattern.    The idea is repeated on the hips as a lace pattern joining the opaque front and back of the brief.

To make the idea work you really need to wear a pair of shoes the same colour, and plain court shoes too because any stableaps or other details will clash with the shoe design in the tights. Suede or fabric finish would work best to complete the look.  In tableuth the opaque parts are not dark enough, the sheer parts  not sheer enough and the lace detail slightly too faint to look completely convincing.

These are well made and accurately sized tights that fit well, but when you would wear them, and what with we don’t know.   You are probably better to get a quality pair of sheers and buy lace fronted boots/shoes if that is the look you want. 

This is a design that will divide opinion... we even changed our mind here during the course of the day.   It so very nearly works and it grew on us with time.

Trasparenze tights are never boring!
