Reviewed: The Charmer Leggings From Hēdoïne

Hosiery brand Hēdoïne recently sent us their latest product - The Charmer Leggings.



Hēdoïne provides this description of The Charmer Leggings on their website:

"This is stay-at-home comfort meets saucy nights out (and in!) A design developed to upgrade your leggings addiction with a new versatile fashion essential.

"Sustainable warp knitting technology leads to leggings that support your movement, and feel barely there."

Packaging

The Charmer Leggings are packaged in an elegant box, that Hēdoïne have specifically designed for this product.



The box measures 28cm x 18cm x 4cm, and has a really sturdy design. The Hēdoïne logo is stamped onto the top. There is no other information provided on or inside the box, for either sizing of product information.

According to Hēdoïne the packaging is 100% recyclable.

The Charmer Leggings inside the box are wrapped in tissue paper.





Materials and features

The Charmer Leggings are made from 81% Nylon and 19% Lycra.

Removing the leggings from their packaging, I was struck by how light they felt. The material is really soft and warm.

The leggings are knitted with an intricate lace pattern. It's not a traditional fishnet; the images show the detail that has been created.



The material is very stretchy and breathable.

The leggings have built-in completely opaque shaping shorts, that are integrated with the waistband. The waistband is 5cm wide and is embossed with the Hēdoïne logo.



The shaping shorts and waistband are very elastic and stretchy. This brief is completely seamless. It measures 19cm from the top of the waistband to the crotch.

A Hēdoïne tag is sewn onto the inside of the waistband.



The cuff at the ankle is 2cm wide, and has the same elastic stretchiness as the waistband.



Sizing, fit and wearing experience

The Charmer Leggings are available in five sizes:

• XS
• S
• M
• L
• XL

Currently only the S, M and L sizes are available for purchase. Hēdoïne will notify customers when the S and XL sizes are available if you sign up to a waiting list.

I wore them in the M size.



With my waist size I would normally go for the L size. With my regular Wolford, Aristoc and Pretty Polly leggings I just pull them on in a flash. It took some time and care to get The Charmer Leggings on, as I didn't want to damage that delicate pattern and also wanted to align everything correctly. Yet, despite trying the M size I found them to be really stretchy. The fit was very good overall, especially on the leg.



The shaping short was slightly tighter, but not uncomfortable. In fact its elasticity held everything in place. The tension provided is moderate and this will be good if you need some shaping support in the stomach area.

The cuffs similarly provided a close fit but were not too tight at all.



Price and availability

The Charmer Leggings are priced at £78, €90 and $110.

Worldwide shipping is free for orders over £55.

Conclusion

I really enjoyed wearing The Charmer Leggings. They are soft, comfortable and the fit on the leg is really good. Despite the open-knit design they are actually quite warm, as well as obviously being breathable.

You could wear these out with shorts (some of you are brave enough), but I liked wearing them lounging around the house and outside on my terrace.

Hēdoïne are certainly setting the pace with this leggings design. Who know what they will come up with next?
