Cecilia de Rafael Agata 20

When I first stumbled upon these tights on Shapings.com, I pretty much instantly knew I was going to love them. At the time of purchase, I hadn't tried anything by Cecilia de Rafael before, but this is now my second go round, having already reviewed the Gemma 20 tights here. The reason I knew I would like them was that I'm loving tights with a brilliant sheen to them right now, but I'm also loving tights that are sheer but not too delicate, which is why I always seem to gravitate towards the 20 denier tights. Finding tights that are both shiny and 20 denier can sometimes be a challenge, as often the shiny tights are very sheer with denier counts sometimes even in the single digits. These tights give a brilliant shine to the leg, but are also reasonably strong and durable. Perfect for people I often hear from who say they have trouble keeping from tearing their tights.

The Cecilia de Rafael Agata 20 tights are constructed from an extra shiny yarn, which helps provide its brilliant finish. They're also constructed with fit and comfort in mind, however. They are made with enough lycra that the tights will stretch to fit your body type perfectly and comfortably, leaving you to think of nothing but simply enjoying the bright finish on your legs.

The quality and comfort of these tights makes them a versatile wear. They're as good for the office as they are for more formal occasions. I can also think of dozens of casual looks where these tights could make the perfect accessory, when you're looking for just a little something extra. In my opinion, given the price, these are a must own...they bring so much to the table.

The Agata 20s are made from a blend of 87% nylon and 13% lycra. They are boarded for an even better fit and have flat seams and a transparent toe. They also have a wider waistband for better comfort and less adjusting during the course of the day...and who doesn't love that out of their tights?

These tights come in 5 different sizes. Whether you're 4'9" or 6'3" or anything in between, these tights are going to fit you perfectly. They also come in an amazing 10 different colors. I absolutely love how the high shine looks in some of the brighter colors. The best part though? These tights cost only $10.99. I usually see tights with this combination of quality and shine for up to three times as much as this. I might need to take advantage and buy 3 more colors!
