Reviewed: Aristoc Ultimate 6 Denier Appearance Bare Tights

We have previously featured and reviewed several styles from the Ultimate range of tights from hosiery brand Aristoc.



As warmer weather is nearing, it's a good time to review the Aristoc Ultimate 6 Denier Appearance Bare Tights.



Packaging

The Aristoc Ultimate 6 Denier Appearance Bare Tights come in the packaging that has been created for the whole of the Aristoc Ultimate collection. There is a uniform design aesthetic to the whole range.

The tights are folded around a card rectangle that provides information on the styles in the Ultimate range.



This is then sealed in a plastic sleeve. Everything is then housed in a cleverly designed and unique card enclosure. Four triangular flaps open outwards to reveal the tights inside.



Material and features

Here is Aristoc's description of the Ultimate 6 Denier Appearance Bare Tights:

"Aristoc Ultimate Bare tights are the perfect summer tights for natural beautiful looking legs."

Many of the tights in the Ultimate range are made in Italy, but this particular style is manufactured in Turkey.

The yarn used is 64% Polyamide, 35% Elastane and 1% Cotton. The gusset is made from Cotton.

As you take them from the packaging, you notice how extraordinarily light they feel. They weight literally nothing. Although they are described as '6 denier appearance', they are actually 10 denier tights.

They are completely sheer to waist, with no demarcation between the leg and the body.

As with other styles in the Ultimate range, the waistband has been designed to improve comfort levels. It is described a 'deep comfort' waistband and measures 4cm.



Underneath there is a 3cm finger band extending into a T-band either side of the central seam



The brief measures 20cm from the top of the waist, to the cotton gusset.

Seams are flat and well made. The XL size has no rear comfort panel.

Toes are sheer with no reinforcement. Heels are boarded to mirror the toe shape.

A further reflection of the quality and attention to detail in the Ultimate range, is an Aristoc tag sewn into the rear of the body. Good to see Aristoc providing this.



Sizing, fit and wearing experience

The Aristoc Ultimate 6 Denier Appearance Bare Tights. are available in four sizes:
  • Small 
  • Medium 
  • Large 
  • Extra Large 


I wore the Extra Large size.



You need to be very careful putting these tights on as they are very delicate. Hosiery gloves are recommended if you have them.

The Extra Large size looks very small but the high (35%) Elastane content in the yarn there is a significant amount of stretch.

Once on the feel is of a completely second skin. Appearance is ultra sheer with hardly any shine. It is actually hard to tell that tights are being worn.

With no wrinkling, the tights mould to the leg.

Comfort level was high.

Colour range

The Aristoc Ultimate 6 Denier Appearance Bare Tights are available in two colours: Dark Nude and Light Nude.

I wore them in the Light Nude shade.



Price and availability

The Aristoc Ultimate 6 Denier Appearance Bare Tights are priced at £10.00.

They can be purchased directly from the Aristoc website.

The online retailers UK Tights and Tights Tights Tights also have them in stock.





Conclusion

This is our fifth review from the Aristoc Ultimate range. The whole collection is of consistently high quality.

The Aristoc Ultimate 6 Denier Bare Tights are incredibly light and feel good to wear. With shorts, they are all but invisible. Both shades would give your legs a smooth tanned look. The depth of the tan would be reflected in whether you chose the Light or Dark Nude shades.

Under trousers as a light layer of insulation, they glide well.

Recommended.

Another Aristoc Ultimate review coming soon.
