Material and features
Wolford describe these tights as:
Highly transparent and airy tights that can barely be felt. Their natural look keeps them comfortable inconspicuous, making them the perfect choice for summer occasions - from a business meeting to an evening occasion.
Packaging is similar to most Wolford styles.The tights are folded around a card rectangle, with images of Wolford products, and are then housed in a folded card envelope. Everything is then wrapped in a cellophane envelope.
These tights feel incredibly light and airy; almost weightless.
They are made from 100% Polyamide. Wolford have used a special stretch yarn, that contains no Lycra/Elastane, but still has impressive elasticity.
The fabric is extremely soft and has really excellent stretch.
They are not sheer to waist but have a slightly denser brief/panty with a cotton gusset.
Toes are not reinforced which makes them idea for wear with sandals or open-toed shoes.
Seams are flat throughout.
The waistband is 3cm wide and very comfortable. As with all Wolford tights, there is a label attached to the inside of the waistband.
The waistband is 3cm wide and has the Wolford log printed on it.
Fit and sizing
The Wolford Luxe 9 Tights are available in five sizes: XS, S, M, L and XL.
The XL size is not currently stocked at Luxury Legs but they can obtain this speedily if needed.
I tested a pair in the L size.
These tights are really very sheer and delicate, and can be barely be seen on the leg. They gave my legs a very slight tanned appearance. There is very little shine.
Despite the absence of Lycra/Elastane the fit on the leg was very snug, with no bunching.
The fit in the L size was good, although I think I would prefer the XL size as that is always perfect for me when wearing Wolford hosiery.
