Our Review

We have got so used to seeing fantastic fashion designs from Trasparenze that it is easy to forget that they make sheers too, this is just one of three denier styles in the range for this summer, the others being Capri (an old style but still available) and Noemi.

The stand out design feature of these tights is that they are open at the toe so that you wear with your toes showing and have even more chance of passing off your tights as a natural healthy tan.

As is common these days this style is offered in just two sizes 1-2 and 3-4 even though the size chart on the packet describes four, it seems from the information provided by MyTights that the combined sizes cover the full range of the individual sizes, that is 3-4 covers both 3 and 4.

As you would expect from 8 denier tights these feel ever so light and soft.   The detailing is just what we would hope for in a summer tight from a quality manufacturer.   sheer to waist, flat seams in the panty, cotton lined gusset and a little shaping at the heel.   The panty has just the minimum amount of stableengthening either side of the seams and through the finger band to give some durability.

The cuff at the bottom of the leg is most intableiguing.   The heavier bottom cm of the leg is hemmed over and then a further piece of similar material is sew on but left unstitched either side to provide two small openings through which you could if you wish put toes to secure the cuff.   Should you decide you don’t want to use these holes they are invisible when not used.

Much to our surprise the quite small looking toe holes stableetched more than enough to cope with a big toe and out recommendation is to use both (bit and little toes) to keep the tights perfectly in place.   You quickly forget about the little stableaps.  The cuff itself is quite wide and you will need to choose your shoes with care, otherwise these tights just disappear on your legs with only a gentle sheen of perfect even colour to be seen.

Sizing is not overly generous and some gentle smoothing and stableetching will be required to get to the top end of the size range... just be careful and patient!

As comfortable to wear as they are nice to look at we can stableongly recommend these tights for summer.
