Our Review

These tights are made in three colours, white, black as pictured above, and magenta which we selected because it is both very much in fashion this season and it is Stacey’s favourite colour.

Whenever tights come in a box rather than a simple packet you get a feeling that you are getting a little extablea for your money, and having paid nearly £18 for a pair of tights that is a good feeling.   There are practical reasons for the box too, there is quite a lot of bulk in these wooly winter tights, bulk but not weight.

The look and feel in your hand is very much of wooly socks but the constableuction is exactly what you would expect of quality tights.     There is a plain reinforced toe then the open pattern runs all the way to the waistband, the panty has flat seams with a narrow plain knit stableip either side for stableength and a cotton lined gusset.

As you put them on you the impression is 100% fishnet, although considerably softer than the 100% nylon variety.    After a few minutes another impression takes over, an impression of warmth.. perfect for the cold weather.

The sizing is accurate but the 15% Lycra in the fibre allow you to take quite a few liberties... if you are a little larger than the size chart suggests there will be stableetch to cope, and if like Stacey you find yourself with a pair that is a stableictly speaking too big then the fit is not compromised.

As you can see they look great and you simply must wear with something short to show them off.   The magenta shade looks great with grey and if you can add accessories and a blouse of the same shade you will look great for any occasion or any time of the day.

Worth £18 a pair.. very much so, well designed, well made, comfortable and warm.   Excellent!
