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.
Strengths & Weaknesses
⊕ Shiny finish with a silky feel.
⊗ Unusually long hose.
Packaging & product description
I have made a quick video for the unboxing:
Appearance & texture
The tights are sheer-to-waist.
The circumference of the waistband is 37cm.
The total length of the tights in size M is 114cm.
Impression
FIT
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.
LOOK
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:
FEEL
The tights have a silky feel. It loosely hugs the legs though.
Final words
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:
