Now this isn’t normally my jam, but you know me! I am open to all sorts of hosiery, even if they look a little 1960s! Plus I love Oroblu, and haven’t been in them for a while, so I am looking forward to how these are gonna be looking on the legs.

The true name of these are Oroblu Tights 60 Little Flowers Tights on their website!

Opting for something simple here, as my wardrobe isn’t retro enough to pair a dress with these. So I went for my bodycon split thigh dress instead with my slingbacks.

The Review

From The Website: These beautiful floral tights are the perfect combination of blossoming Spring flowers and autumnal colours to create a stunning all-rounder pair of flowery pantyhose. The Oroblu Floral Opaque Tights have a deep red base detailed with small flowers from waist to toe, taking inspiration from daisies and sunflowers. Stay warm in the cooler months thanks to the 60 denier material and opaque finish, which also ensures the detail of the flowers stands out. 78% Polyamide, 19% Polypropylene, 3% Elastane

The Packaging

Getting Them On: these were a simple scrunch and roll up the legs, before setting them in place. Such an easy pair to get on this morning, with no issues regarding my anklets.

On The Legs: so they don’t look as bad as I thought they might. In my head I did think ‘Grandma’ but now they aren’t too bad. I will have to try and style these in a way where they are more fashionable with pops of colours than pairing simply like this.

The quality of these are amazing as per usual. I do like Oroblu for this reason, as their hosiery is always so lovely to wear. There was no sign of any damage at the end of my wear either, which is always a bonus point.

The fit of these are true to size; I had plenty of stretch on the legs to achieve even coverage. If you are in between sizes I would advise going a size up, just so you have some extra stretch and material to play with and if you want to achieve a fuller, deeper coverage.

The feel of these are super soft and so smooth to touch. They don’t irritate the skin in any way whatsoever, which is a bonus point if you have sensitive skin. I do like the material that they have used in this pair, as it does feel very luxurious and also helps keep your legs warm during the day.

The Toes & Ankle: around the toes as you can see in the images below, there is plenty of wiggle room and stretch so no pressure is applied around that area. If I’m honest I had a lot of stretch around this area which is not a bad thing at all, but if you are wearing shoes that are tight around the toes, you might see a little bit of wrinkling occur.

Around the feet and ankles it’s a lovely smooth, soft finish with no wrinkling. I was surprised by this as they are quite a thick denier pair, but happy that they’re just perfect!

The Waistband & Gusset: okay so here is the talking point; as you can see in the images below, the band rolls down a lot and this is how my band sat on me for the majority of my day.

The band itself is a great band; it does have plenty of stretch to it even though it is slim lined and it does hold up the tights well throughout the day, even if it does roll down on itself from time to time.

One thing I do like about this pair here is the fact that you get that lovely floral design working from the toes right up to the band so it allows you to wear shorter clothing in colder months.

My Thoughts?

Overall I would recommend this pair; I do think they are lovely, the quality is amazing, and fit is beautiful. It is just a shame the fact that the band rolled down on itself a fair amount and there’s not much that you can do about it.
