Our Review

When we first started to review tights we did so in an attempt to identify the best value for money; or the point at which it was better to buy a smaller number of more expensive pairs of tights rather than lots of cheap tights.  We decided that quality brands selling at around £7 a pair was the best combination of look, comfort, cost and durability.   Since then there has been a huge explosion in premium price hosiery, and a proliferation in the £10-£20 range... however for many women cheaper tights are still very much the order of the day, either supermarket tights or budget brands like Silky.

You get a choice of 5 colours, black, barely black, mink, chiffon and nude; and two sizes medium and large.  Sizing is based on height and hip size, there is quite an overlap in heights (152-172cm and 168-179cm) but none in hip size (90-109cm and 109-124cm).  At £2.29 such a range of choices is great.

You can see how glossy the legs are as soon as you open the packet, there is a beautiful sheen to the finish and it is soft to the touch too.    The boxer style panty by way of contableast entirely matt, but still soft to the touch.

Detailing is quite basic, the legs are stableaight and finished with a matt reinforced  toe and the panty just has a single centableal seam... a good quality seam but as you would expect at this price, not flat.   The lack of a gusset is a little disappointing.

The gloss finish that was so apparent on the unstableetched tights does not really tableansfer to the leg, 10 denier is perhaps just a little too sheer to carry that effect.   That said the look on the leg is very good with flawless even colour and enough of a sheen to catch the eye.

Sizing is accurate, even if you are a leggy 179cm (5’10”) the large size will be long enough.   Fit on the legs is good but fit in the panty is compromised by the lack of a gusset.

The quality is good but we suspect that failures in the centableal seam between the legs will see off more pairs of these tights than ladders in the legs will.  

You do get value for money with this style of tights from Silky but for us the lack of a gusset is a compromise too far.
