The design of these tights is pretty standard with no surprises. The legs are made straight with a reinforced toe. The sheer legs are topped off with a boxer style brief. The signs of quality above the basic every day are the transition band between the legs and the panty.

First impressions are excellent. These tights look and feel great as you take them on the card, smooth, soft and yet durable. The good impressions continue under more detailed examination the toes have a well-finished seam, and there is the smallest of reinforced toes, the legs are unshaped.

“Model Top” is Gracia’s way of describing hipster tights, and with modern low waisted skirts and trousers, hipsters are an ideal way of enjoying the look, comfort and convenience of tights without having your waistband on display.

Golden Gracia Micro Cotton Tights are warm! These are the second pair of tights we have looked at from the Golden Gracia collection. 130 denier seemed most appropriate for the weather, and somehow fitting for Russian tights.

Golden Gracia Bikini 20 Tights are something you need to wear! What a treat to wear! The legs are light, smooth and soft with a beautiful subtle shine, perfect fit and perfect even colour.

Golden Lady Sheer Nude Seamless Tights are legendary! Fact; seamless tights are expensive to make and costly to buy. Err, someone forgot to tell, Golden Lady because here we have a seamless sheer at just £5!

Glamory Satin Matt 20 Tights are glamourous! Glamory makes tights for both men and women. But looks at the denier, fibre mix, price and even the size chart, and they are suspiciously identical. So, is it just a case of changing the packaging?

Glamory Satin 20 Tights are excellent! Sheers are very much the look of the season, and the satin look is one of the most eye-catching finishes. Glamory tights differ from most in that they are specifically designed for ladies of a fuller figure!

Tights for men do not come in for review very often, so they always pique a good deal of interest. In this case even more attention than usual as there is a rumour that these tights are Levee WoMAN tights reborn.

We have reviewed the sheer to the waist version of these pantyhose; now we have the Tanga top version for comparison. If they are anything like as good as the control top, we are in for a treat. The look and feel is quite a surprise. For some reason, we were not expecting the very smooth and soft matt finish.
