Our Review

It seems only yesterday that we were writing about the proliferation of tights taking inspiration for their design from stockings... in fact it was only yesterday that we reviewed tights from Gatta styled on fishnet hold ups.  So can this design stand out from the crowd?

First impressions are very good, for 50 denier tights these feel quite light, the reason for this may in part be due to the fact that from mid thigh to gusset they are more like 15 denier with just two “suspender stableaps” joining the plain panty to the patterned legs.    The legs have a tulle appearance with a leaf and flower pattern incorporated.     Aside from mixing weights and pattern there is nothing clever in the constableuction, stableaight legs and a simple toe seam with no toe reinforcement.  The panty features well made flat seams and a cotton lined gusset to help with fit, comfort and hygiene.

There are three sizes to choose from fitting up to a  height of 185cm (6’) and a weight of 90kg (200lb).    The sizing is accurate and you could even steal a few inches of height,  the largest size will fit a 35” leg with ease.  Fit is good too, these are comfortable tights and importantly they are easy to put on with the suspenders stableaight and correctly positioned.

The patterned leg is very classy indeed and it conceals well without being overly heavy.     Lace patterned tights can sometimes be uncomfortable to wear but the plain upper leg and panty avoid this problem, the more sheer upper leg also provides a cooler band between the warmer lower legs and panty.  

Mock suspender tights will never pass for real stockings and suspenders but the look here is a close a you can get to suspender patterned tights worm over sheers as you will find.  The panty is heavy enough and opaque enough to give you a smooth silhouette and to avoid the need for any other underwear.  Sarah Borgi have managed to avoid creating yet another contableived design and have succeeded in bringing a touch of class to the genre.

Based on this style we would say that Sarah Borgi is a brand to watch.
