In additional to the Turquoise pair I purchased, I have Violet to try out as well. I loved this colour as well, so here we are!

Wolford’s Fleur De Lys Tights in violet offer the same luxurious design as their other iconic shades, but with a deeper, richer twist. The Fleur De Lys pattern, steeped in history and elegance, adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit, while the violet hue brings a bold, modern edge to a timeless classic. Perfect for layering under skirts or dresses, these tights are a beautiful way to combine statement colour with refined detailing.

These were purchased from a private seller.

My Outfit

I decided to take vintage modern with my fit. I went with my white bodysuit, paired with my multi-coloured shorts and added trainers to keep it casual. You can always switch to heels, to make it more feminine.

The Review

The Packaging

Getting Them On: as these are pretty delicate, I got my Hosiery Gloves on to make sure I don’t end up snagging these whilst getting them on.

I took my time doing my scrunch and roll, just to ensure that I don’t stretch more than needed and to take care going over my anklets.

On The Legs: this purple is so Spring-like. I probably should have pulled these out in the New Year, but I couldn’t wait. It’s such a lovely colour to have as a statement piece, especially with the drab weather we’re having. Plus the shorts help to bring out the colour a little more – don’t you think?

The quality of these are so lovely! They are just as perfect as my last pair – I have nothing bad to say about them here!

The fit of these were a little better, as I went for a Medium with this pair. I do feel I needed that extra bit of room, so they don’t sit too snug, especially if a lot of sitting down is involved.

The feel of them are just the same as my last pair; they have a that slight rough feel, but nothing that would irritate the skin.

The Toes & Ankle: these come with reinforced toes to them, which blend pretty well with the tights, so you gotta be sure to keep those nails short and smooth. I did have plenty of stretch in these, and no pressure was added during my wear.

Around the feet and ankles, I had a smooth fitted finish, with no wrinkling.

The Waistband & Gusset: I find the waistband much better on this pair; they didn’t roll down as much as the Turquoise pair did. They sat well on the waist, and stayed put all day.

These come with a nylon gusset, so it’s probably wise to go with underwear if you’re not a fan. I prefer a cotton gusset myself for hygiene reasons.

My Thoughts?

These are beautiful! I adore this colour so much, and cannot wait to get them out next year to pair with dresses and heels!
