Review: Wolford Luxe 9

Wednesday, June 9, 2010

Over the last several years, I've reviewed a ton of Wolford tights. Many of them have been of the seasonal variety and included textures or patterns. Not to be overlooked, however, are the generous collection of basics, that Wolford keeps in their store year-round. These tights leave out all of the bells and whistles, but can often still deliver the same quality and feel of the fancier (and more expensive) Wolford tights.

Among the collection of basics, is the Luxe 9 tights. As the name suggests, these tights are super-sheer at just 9 denier. Wolford advertises them as "makeup for your skin" as they can be useful when you want to go with a much more natural look. They're also very light and airy making them great for when you need to wear tights in the summer. In addition, they are as soft, luxurious, and comfortable feeling as any of Wolford's more expensive fashion tights.

At just $30, they are more affordable than much of Wolford's product line. They also come in 5 different sizes. If you're looking for the natural look, and want to match your skin tone as closely as possible, these are the tights for you as they come in 11 different tones. They're made from 90% nylon, 8% elastane, and 2% cotton. They're a bit more delicate than most Wolford tights, so you do need to exercise a bit more care when putting them on and wearing them. But if you're reasonably careful, they should last for many wears, which is key for tights that are so useful.
