The Packaging

Getting Them On: these were an easy roll on this morning. I had a lot of material to work with, so I didn’t need to tug or pull at these to get them on. I did my scrunch and roll, and then worked my way up the legs before setting them in place. These do have a boxer brief to them, so I wanted to make sure they sat high up the legs and not exposed in any way before I got dressed and headed out the door.

These are fine going over anklets as well; I just made sure I rolled it over mine before setting in place and carrying on.

On The Legs: these are a lovely pair! I love the fishnet design to them, with the added lurex polka dots. From afar, these look like a heavy polka dot pair, until you come up close and see the criss-cross design. I love the added touch of lurex to these, elevating the look of them from basic to party instantly. Of course I love wearing pairs like this to work! The only issue I have here is that the lurex does come off easily from the tights; I found myself having to dust it off a fair bit during the day.

The quality of this pair is lovely; they stayed completely damage-free all day long. I felt they were made really well, and you can tell this isn’t a cheap and cheerful pair. I was really impressed with these.

The fit is spot on; I had enough material and stretch to work with, to achieve even leg coverage. These fit me like a dream. I would advise sizing up if you are unsure, or in-between sizes. You would rather than more material than having to tug at these.

The feel of them are lovely against the skin. I felt the base was super smooth and really soft to touch. My only issue was the lurex; some parts were completely fine against the skin and some parts were super itchy. I don’t know why that was, but it was annoying.

The Toes & Ankle: these come with no reinforced toes to them, which is great if you wanna pair them with open toe shoes/sandals. I had to make sure that my nails were kept smooth and short when slipping into this pair, as I didn’t want to run the risk of damaging them.

I had plenty of wiggle room for my toes to breathe, and no pressure was added during my wear either. I had a lovely smooth finish around my feet too.

The Waistband & Gusset: so apparently these are a control top and not a boxer brief. If I am honest, there is nothing control top about this part. I didn’t feel it controlled anything around this area; there was no pressure that you get with normal control tops. If these were, they are a very soft control top!

I did like the waistband on this pair, however I did find it scrunching down from time to time during the day. No biggie, but something worth mentioning if you were going to wear these with fitted clothing. I did like how much elasticity they have to it, and they don’t shimmy down the waist either, which is a bonus.

These come with a cotton gusset to them, which sits flush against the skin.

My Thoughts?

I really love this pair. I love the design that can take you day to night instantly, and the quality is lovely. It’s a shame about the lurex element, but I suppose it was bound to happen at some stage.
