On half of the occasions, my tights were snagged when putting them on/off. I used to wear hosiery gloves, but I realised that after a while, the gloves per se start to form pilling, of which can cause snag. So I developed a way of putting the tights on, and I’ve never snagged them since. Curious to know how I do it? Find out in the video below…
Among the purchases I made earlier this year was a box full of Wolford hosiery. It includes the Brand’s basic essentials, some of which has been updated in recent years. I will gradually review them all, starting with the revised Neon 40 Tights.
Yes, I am back! ilovehosiery had a bad start, with all original photos and videos lost in an untimely incident. I was really sad and were thinking whether or not to continue the blog. Since I bought quite a few pairs early this year, I thought let’s review them first before making any decisions. Hence in this review, we will look into one of them, the Fifteen tights from Heist Studios, introduced in June 2022.
The biggest change is on the waistband.
This one is not exactly a vintage style, as you can still buy them online or in physical shops. I brought it up because I purchased this when it was launched in 2018. So it has been lying in the closet for more than 4 years.
I previously reviewed the style in black colour, which you can find it here. Hence, this one will be a picture review.
This style is characterised by an unusually long hose. I don’t know if FALKE has since revised the product. If you bought one recently, and find it different from what I have here, please let me know.
⊕ Shiny finish with a silky feel.
⊗ Unusually long hose.
I have made a quick video for the unboxing:
The tights are sheer-to-waist.
The circumference of the waistband is 37cm.
The total length of the tights in size M is 114cm.
It is pretty obvious that the waistband was too tight for me.
While not shown in the image below, the reinforced toe was also a tad narrow. It would not cover my little toe after wearing it for a while.
The tights exhibit a shiny appearance. The shininess resembles that of reflected from a mirror. Such was clearly captured while I was turning, in the video below:
I noticed the Powder colour for this style being darker than usual. I have included a pair of Lunelle 8 Tights in the same colour for comparison:
The tights have a silky feel. It loosely hugs the legs though.
The Seidenglatt 15 Tights is the sheerest among FALKE’s Seidenglatt range. It gives a transparent, shiny appearance. The only problem I had with this version is the unusually long hose, which resulted difficulty in choosing the right size.
The style is available for €18 or £19. You can buy them directly from the Brand’s website:

The Contour Seamless Leggings are designed to provide a shaping effect to the bottom, waist and hips.
Moving on to the second article of the vintage series, I’d like to look at an open-knit tights from Wolford.
I have a habit of buying two pairs of the same style but only unbox one. Thus over the years, I have accumulated quite a few pairs unopened, and are not available on the shelves anymore. I’d like to have a look into some of them before I go into hibernation.
The intricate floral/lace tights were showcased during Victoria Beckham spring-summer 2024 collection in Paris. It features the Brand’s iconic seamless panty and reinforced toe and sole. Scroll down for more pictures.
It’s been quite a while since I did a review on leggings. The main reason being leggings has evolved to become active wear in recent years. However, there are still brands that make leggings for comfort. And that’s what we will be examining this time.
Coming to the final round of EMPATIA’s Sheer 20 tights, we will look at the style in Coffee colour.
