New products to review

Hi All,

I have recently purchased a few tights from Dress my Legs that I'll review when I get the change.
  • Zafiro 50 Denier Velvet Touch Tights by Cecilia de Rafael
  • All Colours 50 Denier 3D Opaque Tights by Oroblu
  • Rosalia 40 Denier Microfibre Opaque Tights by Gatta
  • 50 Denier 3D Coloured Opaque Tights by Pamela Mann

I tried them all on when they arrived and the Cecilia de Rafael and Oroblu tights in particular are really nice, looking forward to reviewing them :)

Review - M&S 60 Denier Body Sensor™ Opaque Tights


Here's my latest review - Body Sensor™ Opaque Tights from M&S




Description:

"Our Body Sensor™ technology is designed to keep you warm when it’s cool, and cool when it’s warm."
"Style
  • Comfort waistband
  • Reinforced toe
  • Added stretch"
They are part of the Body Sensor™ range at M&S covering 40-120 denier, I bought the 60 denier which come in Black, Chocolate or Navy three packs or a mixed pack with one of each colour.  I opted for the mixed pack.  The chocolate and navy are really nice shades and the opacity is as it appears in the picture below, not fully opaque.





They come in 5 sizes



Composition: 88% polyamide, 11% elastane lycra and 1% cotton


The sizing is spot on, the Large size fits me well at 6 foot but I don't think they would fit anyone taller.  They mould to the leg well with no sagging around the ankles while not being too tight and the waistband sits nicely just above the hips.



I have worn them a few times now and they seem to wash well and so far they haven't snagged.

In terms of their description "keep you warm when it’s cool, and cool when it’s warm." they certainly keep me warm and as yet I haven't overheated in them!


Summary

At 3 for £8.00 these are great tights, they are perfect for every day wear and bulking up your tights collection.  I'm really impressed with the quality M&S are able to supply at that price.

I'd be interested to see how the 40 denier compare, especially as we are hopefully getting into spring soon and may need something a little lighter soon!

I hope you've enjoyed my latest review. As always feel free to post any comments or questions and thank you for reading :)
