Our Review

Think Trasparenze and you think highly stylised tights on the theme of stockings and suspender or mock hold-ups.

We have often wondered what they could do if they went for the Italian classic of sheer tights with an 85:15 fibre mix.  Well now we know! Most of the Trasparenze sheer fashions are based on 15 denier with a matt finish, here we have 20 denier  with a lustableous shine on the finish... Something you can hardly miss as you let the tights slide from the packet.

Detailing is just what you expect from a premium fashion brand, sheer to waist, legs shaped at the heel, flat seams in the panty and a lined gusset. For durability the toes are reinforced.

Sizing is accurate but smaller than we are used to seeing from Trasparenze, if you are long in the body or full on the hips then the waistband may sit a little low.

Fit is excellent as are finish and colour density and evenness.

Pitched into a very competitive part of the market where the German brands dominate Trasparenze Brigitte tights really hold their own. Top quailty fibre, classic design and beautifully made.

Our sample came from The Stylish Fox in the USA, American pantyhose wearers should get along and buy a pair or two now... Put a little Italian luxury in your life!
