Shelina 12

Tuesday, February 3, 2009


On the occasions where I wear Falke tights, I always find myself asking the same question: "Why don't I own more of these?". In my experience, there has been very little to dislike about Falke hosiery. With their outstanding quality, yet slightly lower prices, across the board, just call these "Wolford Lite".

The Shelina 12 is no exception. Without any patterns of textures, these would qualify as basics, as tights go. The only really unique thing about these tights is, despite the fact that they are very sheer, they do give off a bit of a shine. It's nothing over the top, but it is noticeable. If you select the right color, they can give your legs a little added tone to their color, and enough shine to give them a really healthy look.

As such, they are essential to any one's collection. They come in seven different tones, from Poudre (a very very light beige) to black. One should have little trouble matching their skin tone (or adding a bit of tone) for their legs. The ultra sheer 12 denier appearance, will require the closest of examinations for one to even tell you're wearing tights.

With the exception of the waist band, which is about an inch thick, these tights maintain the same sheerness throughout. You want to wear a really short skirt? You want to wear sandals? Neither would be a problem with these. What's more, is that these are among the smoothest and softest tights I have ever worn. They felt amazing as I gently tugged them up my legs this morning. They have felt great on my legs all day long. They are an absolute pleasure to wear. They feel every bit as great as my favorite pair of tights from Wolford.

They are 97% Polyamide and 3% Elastane. They come in sizes small (0) through extra large (V), with 4 other options in the middle. If you're anywhere from 4'9" or 95 lbs to 6'0" or 225 lbs, you should have no problem finding a size that will fit you comfortably. For $17 (a rather low price for Falke tights) these are a good pair to check out if you've never worn Falke before.

Chances are, you'll be coming back...
