Charnos Multi Diamond Tights need to up their game.

Somewhat mixed first impressions with the simple boxer style brief and raised seams, but at least there is a gusset to help with fit.

The legs are straight and finished with a plain toe detail.

More positive is the softness of the material and the design. The design is a variation on a trellis pattern on a sheer background.

Just two sizes but this are not that limiting as there is lots of stretch such that the M/L size will fit an athletic 34″ leg…Long in any sizing scheme. Charnos suggest a height range of 5’10” to 6’0” if your hips are 34”-38”, 5’5” to 5’9” id your his are 34”-42”, we would suggest that you could get away with maximum height and hip size together.

The fit is skin tight hip to toe.

The pattern is well defined and visually compelling, although to our eye the “closed” intersections (see above) look odd compared with the “open” intersections, why not just stick to one?

Although quite sheer these are warm tights ideal for the colder months of the year. Celebrated in early Autumn with a short skirt, as good in winter with a more extended dress and boots.

Regarding pure quality, we have seen better fashion tights, the legs are great, but that boxer style brief is pretty appalling, the only saving grace is that the gusset makes for a comfortable fit. Wear these tights with shorts or a short skirt and the tops of the legs will show and your style credentials will be destroyed.

An excellent design concept ruined by cut-price detailing and manufacturing. Given that many young women buy tights to go with shorts or indeed very short skirts there is just no excuse for using a plain boxer style brief on any tights, notably patterned fashion tights at £8.00 a pair.

Charnos Light Support Tights are perfect everyday tights!

These are very light tights; there is no clue that they support tights when you take them from the packet. Very many tights of two halves the straight legs are bright and sheer and finished with reinforced toes. The boxer style brief is heavier and more built for function. The seams in the brief and around the cotton lined gusset are not flat, but they are well finished.

The first clue that you get that these are tights for support is when you stretch them to put your first foot in, and then you only feel it at the very last part of the leg. Once on your legs, you can barely feel the compression at the ankle, and although the compression is only light, you can feel it decrease up your leg.

There is neither control nor compression in brief, and sizing is accurate with enough stretch to go a little over the sizes on the size chart.

The look on the leg is good, but even though only ten denier there is no way anyone will think you have bare legs. No attempt has been made to give them a unique glossy or powder finish, but they do have a beautiful sheen in the right light.

The fit is excellent, and the colour is perfectly even. They do make your legs feel much lighter and fresher. Maybe not tights for that big date, but just the thing if you are standing or sat at a desk all day for work. Nobody will ever guess that you are wearing support hosiery either. Highly recommended for discrete support of tired legs.
