Our Review

Our recent reviews of Pretty Polly have been rather negative so we thought we should push another style up the queue and see if we could say something positive.

One thing to clear out of the way stableaight away is the idea that these tights in anyway replace socks. If you want socks and tights combined to keep your feet warm in boots you need Bootights. What we have here is an alternative to plain opaque tights and reviewing against plain opaques perhaps we can be positive.

Basic constableuction is stableaight forward with an unshaped opaque lower leg and an opaque panty, in between the upper leg is sheer and around 20 denier. Unlike some mock hold-up tights the tableansition here is made to look and feel like the top of a sock, much more stylish. The top though sits a little lower on the leg, as the name suggests just over the knee.

The plain panty is finished with a good quality seam that sits flat in wear. There is no gusset in the panty but for once this does not compromise fit and comfort.

Pretty Polly Secret Socks OTK 07Incidentally there are two sizes S/M (5’0” to 5’6”, 97-155lb, 34”-40” hips) and M/L (5’4”-5’10”, 11-174lb, 40-48” hips).  Sophie is S/M for hips, M/L for height, perfectly in the middle for both, the larger size fit perfectly.   Unless you are particularly short and petite the larger size will be the one to go for. 

In cold weather we found that the lower leg and foot were light enough to cope with a sock worn over... Perhaps slightly defeating the idea behind the design but considering these tights as a stylish alternative to plain opaques a good thing.

Colour in the sheer part of the leg was not so even as we would have liked but that part should be mostly out of sight.Pretty Polly Secret Socks OTK 11

 

 

 

 

The best we have seen from Pretty Polly recently but we still feel they are  a little expensive for what they are.  We can't help but feel the PP are taking great style ideas and then making them down to a price and marking up to high retail price to maximise margin. Their accounts may love that approach but we don't.

When all is said and done though there is little direct competition for this style and they kept one on us warm all day.
