A few days ago, I wrote about Trasparenze and their new Winter fashion tights. Well, it seems even that mega-post wasn’t quite as long as it should have been.

Two extra Trasparenze products have been added since then, so this post will be an extra and unexpected fashion tights review!

The Italian designer is fantastic at producing all kinds of hosiery, but their mock stockings and mock hold ups are where they really specialise. Trasparenze Fay, the first pair of fashion tights for this review, are the perfect example of why they are the world leader in their field. The bows have been a feature of this season’s collection and they have proven a fantastic way to lengthen your legs, while the spots draw attention to the curve of your calf. These fashion tights are beautiful, and you can see their quality straigh away.

One great thing about writing reviews after the other Winter products are available, is that you already know what’s going well this season. The Fuyo Strip Panty has probably been our best seller so far, the Seisho became an immediate favourite and the Riki have been a very well recieved pair of Winter fashion tights. The thing they have in common? Opaque legs.

So when I saw Trasparenze Gelsey, I knew it was going to be a customer favourite! The opaque legs are beatuiful on these tights, but it’s the waist band belt-and-clasp design, and the thigh-high design that make this piece special. It really has to be seen to be appreciated. The colouring and the contrast is striking, and the thigh design gives this piece the regal look it deserves. This is my favourite opaque of the season!

But don’t just listen to me, look at them for yourself and you won’t be dissapointed. All the new Trasparenze items are available from the main brand page, so if you haven’t already, take a look! And if you haven’t subscribed to this blog yet, go for it, or you’ll be missing out on all these neat product reviews!

If you’ve read my post on Trasparenze recently, you’ll know what I’m talking about!

So, for my second Winter post, we head back to Italy with Levante, their thirteen new designs and why you shouldn’t wrap up too much this season.

Levante Garda Lace is our premier design, and what a design! Lace tights are forever popular and designers will release at least one in each new range, but these fashion tights are exceptional. The larger lace pattern makes this a bold look, and makes it one of the most tasteful lace patterns this season.

Levante Contrast Circles, you can tell by the photography this was designed with smart and chic in mind. Black tights have always been a fixture of women’s suits, but the white circles on this design give work wear an eye-catching advantage.

Opaque Punto is intricate, complex and fits in perfectly this season. The mesh of diamonds and snowflake white dots make it an ideal winter design.

Italian Argyle. Fashion tights don’t get much more striking than this. The sumptuous pink and lake green mixture makes for a warming addition to your winter wardrobe.

Toning Hoops, a classic ringed look, fantastic for add colour and verve to your plainer outfits. Levante have taken an old favourite and given it the most fitting colour scheme.

Levante Airskin. With these fashion tights, you can keep your legs on show and not worry about keeping warm. Our snuggest tights yet, 150 Denier will handle winter quite nicely, I think.

Sheer Cut Diamonds use leg wear to its greatest potential. The verticals act as a seam, and keep your legs looking long and slender. But it’s the diamond mesh that provides the eye-catching element to these truly innovative fashion tights.

Opaque Window Tights. How can you hide yourself behind a long coat with these on? A gorgeous arabesque honeycomb pattern that should work very well with the tones of the new season. Ivory is always a fantastic way to give a softer edge to striking Winter whites.

A unique design, Sheer Brix is futuristic, but entirely in the minute. The brick patterning keeps attention at the calves with long skirts, but adds an interesting seem around the thighs with your shorter numbers. Levante’s most versatile yet.

Levante’s Sheer Dot Dash Tights, a design I can’t describe and one you have to see for yourself. The whole piece is a mixture of different affects that come together beautifully. Office wear? Perhaps. But for me, these were made for catwalks and Saturday nights.

Contra Punto Hold Ups, the snowflake-dotted cousin of Punto fashion tights, is a design with a warmer pink colour-scheme to complement its tights counterpart, this time including the most original lace tops I’ve seen this season.

Punto Rib Hold Ups, a subtle design using an old leg-lengthening favourite, ribbed lines. Pairing these with heels will double the effect and will result in a winning outfit!

And now for my favourite, Levante Filigree. If any of Levante’s new fashion tights make you want to throw away thick trousers and long skirts, it’ll be these. Lavish designs are always a favourite from Italian designers, but these look more like a French regal design to me. A true Marie Antoinette item, and not to be worn with anything less than the most stunning dress!

So, now you know why swrapping up take a closer look first. Unfortunately, there just isn’t enough room to put all the pictures up here. Take a look at Levante, and if you liked this review, make sure you subscribe to get free reviews by email, for reviews on all sorts of stunning leg wear designs. Until then!

I’m going to write a proper product review.

Most new product articles are all about the latest portfolios, and those are great for introducing new and exciting stuff like Autumn/Winter stock, but you can’t get to the heart of what’s great about a fashion piece.

So, to give you a good look at one of our most popular items, I’m going to do a piece on Henry Holland Chain Suspender Tights.

Now, I’m not a massive follower of celebrities, but this week it became obvious I needed to take a look at what people are wearing to premiers and festivals. We were getting request after request for the new Henry Holland designs, and I had no idea what was causing it, so I set out to investigate.

As it turned out, at the V Festival some days ago, Pixie Lott was wearing a pair of Henry Holland Chain Suspender Tights, and naturally the world saw this amazing slice of fashion heaven and said “I must have a pair!”

Of course, I was over the moon when I saw they were the chain suspenders, as we had already staged a video shoot for these and they are already posted on our YouTube channel. Hurray! The video is one of our most popular, and I must say one of the best looking videos we’ve made so far. The video is a review in itself, and always the best way to see a design up close. So if you haven’t already, take a look and see for yourself. 

As far as the product itself goes, they are an inspired piece of design. The suspender’s are gold lurex, and are raised off the fabric. A fantastic way to make these tights that extra bit more special. The sheer to opaque contrast around the thighs is one of the best feature’s here. This immediately draws the eye to the top of your legs, and makes them look longer and more shapely. Good news all round!

These will be the season’s perfect tights for going out in and an absolute winner at parties. If you’re not a massive celebrity follower, they’ll make the perfect gift for some young festival-goer. Or, you might just look at them and say, “they are fantastic!” and fall in love with a whole new kind of style. One thing I’m certain about is, they will go off the shelves like hot cakes! So, whatever happens, give them a try… before they’re all gone!

A typical club

To follow up on from my Shatner-rific post yesterday, I have to mention a recent addition to our social media that I think you might like.

Recently, our Technical Department put together a delightful little gadget, a button, that sends you to the UK Tights YouTube channel . Good for them!

Now, technical stuff is not my cup of darjeeling, but I have to say that this new add-on really impressed me, and hopefully it will make information sharing much easier.

Also, while Santa’s Elves the Technical Department were making this YouTube button, they also included a Social Networking one too. If you’re reading this post from the post page, or from the blog home page, you’ll see a button for Facebook, a company project monitored, managed and written by yours’ truly.

These little gadgets are there for increased communication, so if you were to see a post on this blog about the Facebook offer code, for example, just hit the Facebook button and you’re there! So, if you enjoyed this post, then join our awesome club for free, and receive free email updates. Good for you!

During a quick excursion to the channel page, amazement struck!

Our channel views have risen close to Five-Thousand views and nearly Forty subscribers!

Well, this is a marvelous result and I was very pleased with the reception of our videos.

One other thing that I noticed was the distribution. The Cortina Suspender Tights was our most popular video. These items are exclusive to UK Tights, so when I saw they made for a popular video, I knew we had done a good job picking them out.

As expected, the Henry Holland Chain Suspender Tights was our second most popular video. After Pixie Lott’s appearance at the V Festival in a pair, it’s bound to be a well viewed piece of camera work.

If you haven’t already, then do go and see some of our videos. There is some absolutely marvelous content on ther and, if like me, you can never remember to check the channel, you can subscribe and receive an update every time we post a new video.

Merry viewing everyone!

Well… men can understand aching feet, but not the high-heel kind of aching feet. Even I, blogger extraordinaire and reviewer of ladies leg wear, can’t quiet get what you mean, when you say “my feet are falling off!”

But never fear! Kyle has the answer. Your feet are safe with me.

Shoe Monkeys, the innovative new product from Levante. An easy to apply foot cushion you just pop in your high heels and… problem solved.

But it’s not just the comfort I’m going bananas about (… sorry). Its also how specialised the product is. With Shoe Monkeys, you don’t have one large pad in your shoe, you can get them in a heel cushion variety and a toe cushion variety seperately, so if its only your heel that’s giving you attitude, just get yourself the Shoe Monkey Heel Cushion and you’re sorted!

UK Tightsis always the place for choice, so we were very glad Levante decided to make this item like they did. Also, as cushions go, having a large pad can be a little invasive, and very hard to hide with certain shoes, but Levante’s inventive solution puts this problem to rest.

So, it seems that one more leg-related puzzle solved by Kyle! If you’ve found this advice invaluable, then subscribe to my blog for free by email, or if you know someone with terribly achy feet, forward this marvelous article on to them.

At first I thought it might be because she is presenting, but then I realised I do the same thing. Not with skirts and tights, but I do get fed up with wearing old painting rags, and I’ll put on jeans and a button-down shirt. Sometimes, it’s just nice to look nice, even if you’re not going anywhere.

So, having realised there’s a whole range of outdoor hosiery needs I haven’t covered, I’ve set to work compiling a little handbook of great outdoor tights, Eco-friendly items and woolly knits you might want to pair with your wellies.

Now, if you’re a gardener, you might be saying “Kyle, its gonna be Winter soon, I need tights, but not for gardening!” Well, that’s true, but of course there are all sorts of little jobs that gardeners get up to at this time of year. Building little enclosures and such. So you might find your spending more time out there than you’d expected.

So, the first item I’ll recommend is Bonnie Doon Plaid Tartan Check. Yes, it’s a fashion item, I can’t help it! This piece is absolutely brilliant, both design-wise and in quality. I did pick this one based on its more natural, earthy colouring, so if you feel like wearing something particularly smart, these are for you.

Although I would keep in mind, the Bonnie Doon Plaid is an acrylic item, so if you’re searching for a more natural feel, I’d suggest the Trasparenze Gennifer. These are made from 70% Lana wool, one of the most luxurious materials in leg wear production. Lana feels as smooth as cashmere, so these thick tights will stay warm, comfortable and stylish for any outdoor activities.

If you do want to stick firmly on the side of fabulous, there’s a second Bonnie Doon product I can recommend. Bonnie Doon Uniform Footless is a fantastic design for wearing in the wilderness of your garden. The grey and heather combination will give you the perfect Highland look and keep your legs snug and cosy.

One item I must cover (for fear of being labelled a bad blogger) is knits. Every gardener or generally an outdoors person, you have to include one or two knitted items in your Winter outfits. So, if you plan on Spring cleaning like the May Queen this season, you absolutely must try Trasparenze Chopin. These aren’t strictly knitted, but crocheted. This makes them particularly insulating, and keeps any outdoors-man (or woman) warm all day long and still gives you that perfect folkish country look.

Unfortunately, I can’t review all of our woolly outdoor tights, as we have so many of them! Darn our huge selection! But the best place to go if you want some other warm and comfy items is our Wool and Winter tights section, or if you want extra cosiness around your ankles and lower legs, our Leg Warmer section might also be worth a look.

The day after I posted on these fashion tights, the Trasparenze Autumn/Winter arrived and is now available on, of all places, the Trasparenze page.

And, oh my, they seem to have done it again. It would be best to take a good look at all the items for yourself, just so you can see the images in full, but I’ll add some snippets and reviews about these new products.

First up, Yoriki, which some of our most senior individuals (Dawn) insisted on calling “Yorkie”. Ironic, as these certainly ARE for girls. This sums up Trasparenze in one very sexy nutshell. The designers specialise in creating designs that are sensual, feminine, but still sophisticated. And it seems anything a backseam can do, Yoriki can do better. Their backseam is a chain pattern that links to a tasteful loop at the bottom of the waist, the perfect way to draw a glance to your legs.

The Yoriki also comes in two other varieties. Yoriki Strip Panty is even more eye catching. The designers have had yet another stroke of genius and added a black trim to the edging, giving this item, and your legs, real definition.

Yoriki Hold Ups are a little more minimalist looking without their mock-panties, so the seams are given full attention. Trasparenze has always been at its best creating this kind of visual attraction with their leg wear.

Another fantastic, defined strip panty is the Fuyo, but this one is more of a period piece than the Yoriki. The black stocking legs and cosmetic pin-stripes give this design a classic mafia look. Make a note of this one, it’s a definite winner for parties and nights out.

Fuyo also comes in regular tights. Like the strip panty, this comes with a mock suspender belt section. Come to think of it, with those pin stripes, this could be added to a suit or smart outfit, ready for the offce. Yep, now you can stay fashionable all day long.

Riki is perhaps the most complex design I’ve spotted amongst the new fashion tights this winter. the intricate visuals around the thigh and ankle gives this opaque item, and the wearer, a very sophisticated look. I’d say pick a pair of these up for pairing with a black dress, this is evening wear material for sure.

Joko is one of my favourite designs this season. The bow and ribbon seam is so original, this is going to be one of the best selling fashion tights this season and the birthday/Christmas gift of the year.

I like the Joko, but you have to give Trasparenze a lot of credit for Jkay. This is another gift-wrap themed design, but this time, the legs are encased in a cross-ribbon, with a fantastic seal at the top and bottom of the ribbons. I would say this design is Trasparenze’s masterpiece this Winter.

Kenzo is the one to watch out for from the Italian fashion house this season, and these are truly special. I’m finding it difficult to actually describe these. The designs on the thighs are entirely original, and the mock lace-up panties are inspired.

The last two designs I have to show you are the Seisho Tights, and Seisho Hold Ups. The tights have an attention-to-detail you rarely get to see in the fashion world. This mock-stocking has delicate floral and lace triangles on the thigh and on the hip. This kind of patterning gives these tights the perfect regal look. The suspenders even have tiny mock tassels to give the perfect, authentic edge to the whole item.

And Trasparenze haven’t neglected your hold ups. To replace the above-thigh designs on the tights, your hold-ups have smaller mock-suspenders on each thigh. This one might have to be seen up close to see exactly what I mean, but the item is definitely my favourite hold up of the season.

Well, thats all for now from one of my favourite designers. I’m sure all these will all be popular this Winter, and if I were to advice you on what to buy if you’re looking for feminine and fashionable, it would be the new Trasparenze.

I hope you enjoyed reading, and if you haven’t already, subscribe for free by using the button on the right, and you’ll recieve free updates by email.

It seems that Summer is getting shorter every year, and if you live in Britain, you’ll have opened the curtains this morning and realised that it’s time for duffel coats.

So, as a dedicated fashion tights Blogger and leg wear expert, I thought I might recommend a few items to keep you nice and warm until October time, when the Autumn/Winter fashion season starts.

Kunert Warm Up Tights spring to mind. These tights are built for winter wear and designed to retain heat. If you need something to tackle arctic lows, these are for you.

If you don’t need this kind of super warm leg wear just yet, a lighter cotton pair might be better for you. Falke Cotton Touch will be just the ticket. These are our softest tights, and I recommend them to everyone looking for comfort and warmth. They’re also designed by one of the best manufacturers of hosiery in the world, Falke, and are beautifully made. I can’t recommend these enough if you want to start your perfect Winter wardrobe.

These items are all popular classics, but if you absolutely cannot wait for the new Winter fashion tights, we have the perfect item, Trasparenze Chopin, which comes in both tights and footless. This item is one of our best sellers, and as an extra treat, they seem to have both been lowered in the sale! These tights are crocheted, so they feel like a woolly jumper, and because they are made with 70% Lana wool, they are some of the comfiest of our fashion tights.

But you might be saying, “But Kyle, I live in a much hotter place than the UK, what about me?!” Well, if you’re weather is getting warmer this time of year, I’d recommend our Sheer Tights section. These are all fantastic if you still see the sun from time to time and our Fashion Tights section always has both Summer and Winter designs in it.

I hope this will keep you looking fabulous for the next few weeks until Autumn/Winter properly starts. Your best-loved brands should be arriving in no time, so keep an eye out for them on our site, or subscribe to my blog via email for free, and receive automatic updates. And don’t worry to much about those grey skies, we’ve chosen some very exciting designs this year, so you definitely have something to look forward to.

When you commit yourself to something, for the first few hours, its all you can think about. We promised our readers YouTube videos a few days weeks months ago, but of course, you tape yourself to do a “meet the team” video, take a good look at the result and realise PhotoShop can’t help you.

But we finally got all our camera equipment, lighting, sets and props, and the most important thing of all, someone other than me to actually film.

So, after deciding that showing the products in real life would be the best use of film, and after deciding I wasn’t going to be the one who modeled them, we found ourselves some professionals. 

Some of our most popular products were filmed first, so we could have more goodies to add to the product page. An image, a description and product details are essential, but whenever I’m shopping on the Internet, if there’s a video I can’t help but click it.

There’s something about little clips and a chance to see whatever you’re buying up close that everyone is attracted to.

So we thought you might benefit from seeing some of our products up close!

We’ll also be adding videos of new products in the near future, so every time new products come onto our site, all of our YouTube subscribers will recieve an update about the new videos.

So if you pay our channel a visit and like what you see, just hit Subscribe and you won’t have to keep checking for new stuff!

As of today, we already have 26 new videos posted. But what really struck me when I opened up our channel this morning was that in less than 48 hours, we’ve had over 1400 views!

Jeepers! Well, we must have done something right.
