Golden Gracia Model Top 40 Tights is mega comfortable!

First impressions are excellent. These tights look and feel great as you take them on the card, smooth, soft and yet durable.

The good impressions continue under more detailed examination the toes have a well-finished seam, and there is the smallest of reinforced toes, the legs are unshaped. It is in the panty that these tights are a little different; the flat seams and cotton gusset are also well made. There is a narrow reinforced strip giving strength ether side of the seam, the real difference is in the waistband which is only 1 cm deep. Below the waistband is a 6cm deep finger band, although on these tights it should perhaps be called a hip-band as the “model top” design is intended to sit on the hips and it is this band rather than the waistband that holds them in place.

There are 6 sizes so regardless of your height and weight there should be size perfect for you. Sizing is accurate but not overly generous, fit is excellent. The perfectly even colour together with the satin finish makes for a very flattering look.

Our one gripe was an asymmetry of the reinforced areas either side of the seams. It didn’t spoil the fit or the look on the leg but it let down the overall feeling of quality.

The hipster “model top” really does work with current fashions, and unlike other hipsters, it is comfortable to wear.

Golden Gracia Model Top Tights is incredible!

“Model Top” is Gracia’s way of describing hipster tights, and with modern low waisted skirts and trousers, hipsters are an ideal way of enjoying the look, comfort and convenience of tights without having your waistband on display.

A problem with hipsters is that sitting below the waist; they can be prone to slipping down or at least giving the impression that they are. Gracia has overcome this by having a very narrow waistband. More a hem to tidy the top of the tights. And then, a deep stretch finger band to grip your hips gently. The rest of the panty is nicely detailed too with flat seams and a cotton gusset; there is a narrow strip of reinforcement between the seams and the sheer material of the legs.

The legs are light and sheer; unshaped they are finished with a reinforced toe that features a run stop so that holes in the toes do not run up into the legs.

The size chart gives six sizes to cover heights from 146 cm to 176 cm and hips from 88 cm to 132 cm so there should be a size for everyone. There is enough stretch and strength to go beyond the limits in the size chart if you wish.

You only appreciate these tights once you have them on. The fit is perfect as is the evenness of the colour. They feel delightfully smooth and soft. The “model top” hipster design is excellent giving a perfectly smooth transition with never any hint that these tights will move from where you put them, quite simply the best hipster tights we have seen.

Of course, you wear tights to show off your legs are and the shimmering gloss finish will really catch the eye and flatter.
