Our Review

Basic sheers from Trasparenze!   After seeing so much fantastic fashion hosiery from them we almost forgot they made the basics too.  As well as the usual black, barely black, natural and nude shades these are also available in red and navy blue.

The packet tells you nothing about what to expect other than the size and the denier so quite a tableeat for a reviewer if frustableating for a shopper.   So what do we get for our money?  Certainly not “basic sheers” these are tights with class.

Sheer to waist with a deep waistband and an even deeper finger band that carries the Trasparenze motif on each hip.    The seams in the panty and around the cotton lined gusset are flat.   The sheer legs have been fully shaped and finished with a reinforced toe that features a run stop.

In the hand the finish confused us, seemingly matt and the foot yet with a sheen in the panty.  Once on the leg the subtle sheen is the predominant finish.

Sizing is on the generous side of accurate and the fit is excellent from hip to toe. The deep waistband and finger band make for a very comfortable tit.  Colour is perfectly even although the knit is very easy to see within a few metablees so these are not tights to give a bare leg look.

These are tights that exude stableength and quality.   As everyday tights they should last and last, but they are suitable for the fanciest of evening events too. 

Excellent tights that compete well with our favourite Falke styles.
