Tights Tuesday: Oroblu Priscilla Tights

Tuesday, March 15, 2011

This week's pick from UK Tights is another pair of fashion tights from Oroblu. Suddenly, it seems, I can't get enough Oroblu. Every pair of tights I've tried from this brand feels amazing, and I'm loving all of the different designs of their fashion tights.

The Oroblu Priscilla Tights are certainly no exception. I can't think of any other tights I've seen with this type of design. It starts with a sheer to waist black style. As is apparently always the case with Oroblu, the tights are incredibly soft, comfortable and smooth. They feel like a luxury brand.

On top of that is a gorgeous floral lace panty effect. It's kind of done in a boy short type style, so the bottom of the effect cuts straight across the high-thigh area. The pattern is then repeated below the knee and above the ankle on both legs. It's almost like a knee-high effect, except the foot is completely sheer. The detail is very intricate and gorgeous. I pretty much fell in love with these tights immediately. What I also love about them, is that you can wear them with shoes to show off the detail or you could wear them with boots and they could look like just plain black tights. So you can get a few different looks from them.

The tights are sheer at 20 denier and have a completely sheer toe. They are made from a blend of 89% nylon and 11% elastane. The tights have flat seams, are not boarded, and have a cotton gusset. They come in black only and are available in 3 different sizes, comfortably fitting heights between 4'9" and 5'11". These tights cost £13.95 (about $22.50). These tights compare very favorably to Wolford, although I imagine you'd pay twice as much for a similar style from Wolford. As always, I'm very, very impressed with the quality and feel of Oroblu...and quite pleasantly surprised by the price.
