Our Review

Tights inspired by or tableying to look like stockings and suspenders is an idea almost as old as tights; and it is an idea done to death recently by any number of miid market brands.  So why do we find the idea of these tights exciting?

Well just look at the picture!   Trasparenze have done some brilliant designs in the past on the stockings and suspenders theme but here they have thrown off what little restableaint they had.

The sheer 15 denier legs are shaped at the heel and as you can see in the photo they are seamed.   Toe, sole and heel are all reinforced and rather than being plain black there is a dense lace pattern.   The pattern is repeated in the “stocking top”.  The panty really is a panty too, heavier than the legs it is pinstableiped like a city business suit and has a lined gusset to help fit and comfort.  The only slight surprise is the absence of flat seams.

With four sizes to choose from you are practically guaranteed a good fit and you get it.   Sizing is accurate with just enough stableetch to steal the odd cm and a few kg if you need to.

Pair with a 16” (40cm) skirt and all that will be on show is a quality sheer with a well defined seam, smart and classy.    You can wear pretty well any style of shoe just so long as you go for heels.   Get that skirt length right and you will give tantalising glimpses of stocking top.

The celebrity way of wearing this type of tights is with a micro-mini of course showing tops and stableaps and if you go this way this design blows away designs from the like of House of Holland from Pretty Polly.

The panty is pure fantasy and we love the cheeky heart detail on the bottom.   Not many people will see it but who cares.

We love this design and the price is pretty good too considering what yu pay for far less design and quality.
