In a recent stop at Bloomingdale's I stumbled upon these smart looking stay ups from Givenchy. I have seen the Givenchy line of stockings and tights around in various department stores, but had yet to give them a try. But since I was looking for stay ups, and since they had been marked down, I gave them a try.
If you're looking for fashion stay ups, these are a good pair to pick up. You can get them at Bare Necessities for $11.99 (marked down from $18). You'll probably feel as though you should have spent much more when you try them on. For one thing these are very comfortable soft stockings. I would say they compare favorably to some of the brands that are up to twice as much. Furthermore, sometimes cheaply made stay ups can cause irritation on the leg from the silicone on the leg band. These offer no such discomfort. They'll be as comfortable at the end of the day, as they were when you first put them on in the morning.
In addition, I like the versatility of them. You can take this pattern and dress it as up (or as down) as you like, and they'll still look great. The corduroy look comes from a contrast in the striped pattern down the length of the stocking. At the top, the band is a similar striped pattern, only horizontally. The pattern continues all the way down through the toe, without any reinforcement. They come in two sizes and should fit anyone from 4'9" to 6'1". They are a blend of 95% nylon and 5% elastane. I couldn't be happier with these. I'll be keeping an eye out for more Givenchy hosiery in the future.
