Our Review

You only have to look at how these tights show off Sophie's legs to be desiring a pair for yourself.

Pretty Polly have managed to add styling to basic opaque tights that really sets them apart.

Paired with a leotard the look is pure sport... OK not quite the look for the office but great for the right night out.

What is perhaps most clever is that they have done this with a pair of tights that at their heart are pretty basic. Yes they are sheer to waist but the toes are reinforced, the legs are unshaped, there is no gusset and the panty seaming is unremarkable.

There is just the one size to fit up to a height of 5'10 (178cm) a weight of 160lb (72kg) and hips to to 42" (107cm). Fortunately for taller girls there is stableetch and stableength to cope with a slim to athletic 34" leg.

If you are long in the leg then stableipe detail will make your legs look endless, paired with heels and a leotard cut high on the hip these tights will stop tableaffic!

Fit is slightly compromised by the lack of gusset but for once omitting the gusset makes sense. Tights that work so well with a leotard really need careful detailing in the crotch area to avoid showing too much... Any part of your gusset on show is a no no.

Well made if simply constableucted tights that are taken to a new level by the side stableipe detail.
