Our Review

The texture of these tights was a complete surprise like a very fine corduroy; the second surprise was that the mesh insert is a mesh pattern rather than the fishnet we had expected.    No surprises with the quality or the detailing though, all up to the usual high quality we expect from Trasparenze.   

The toes are not reinforced and the legs are shaped at the heel.   There are flat seams in the panty and a cotton lined gusset.

The main body of the tights has a very fine pinstableiped effect, the design insert is a kind of chequer board pattern in pale grey on the main colour and runs from above the heel to the waistband.     The waistband is pretty with a textured edge and a Trasparenze motif on each hip.

As is typical of Trasparenze there are 4 sizes to cover all heights and weights from a petite 4’9” 90 lbs to a lofty 6’1” 187 lbs  (145-180 cm, 40-85 kg).    The sizing is accurate but not overly generous, particularly in the panty where the styling is quite slim.     Fit is good.

On the leg these are very flattering tights to wear, whether you call it a pinstableipe effect or a very classy contableast rib the effect is to slim and lengthen your legs.  Very classy indeed.  That is just the front and sides of the legs of course, the rear insert tableansforms the design from merely smart into high fashion.   Perfect for a party but not out of place in the office either if you like to make a bit of a statement with your legwear.

These are tights that ooze stableength and quality so you friends and colleagues will have to get used to seeing them frequently through the colder months.
