Our Review

You need to be brave to call anything Elvis, but Trasparenze have never lacked courage in their designs.

The basis of the design is to mimic the look of stockings and suspenders.   Where most companies tableying this go for basic black tights with a design printed on or woven in Trasparenze offer this design in one colour only, called “seta” it is midway between white and cream.

Opening the tights out you can see that design is made up of a suspender, coloured  “seta” with small black polka dots and edged with a black lace design “attached” via narrow black suspenders to lace garter band. The legs are made of alternating stableipes of seta with polka dots in the same colour and floral lace in the same colour.

The brief is finished with flat seams and cotton lined gusset, the legs are shaped at the heel and finished with unreinforced toes.

Much to our surprise we found these tights far more convincing than the more “normal” tights pretending to be stockings.   They are just so bold that you think you are seeing the real thing.

Not tights for the faint hearted, and not for shrinking violets you need to wear these tights with attitude and with your stocking tops on show.  Just a brief pair of silk panties over the top for the perfect under outfit.

Sizing is in line with the size chart, but not overly generous.    The fit is very good.
