Watch Chiara Kia’s full review of the Gi&Gi Black Stay-Up Stockings 15 Den. These hold-up stockings arrived as a new addition to the Glamissima review lineup, and Chiara puts them through their paces across two distinct outfits to give a well-rounded picture of how they perform in practice.
The box confirms the stockings are 93% polyamide, which Chiara notes she is happy about as a composition. They are 20 denier and black, with a lace top and two silicone strips on the interior to keep them in place. Only two sizes are available, SM and LXL, and Chiara opted for the LXL after judging that the stockings looked like they might run small.
Key observations from the review include:
- Silicone bands: appear thick enough to hold well throughout wear
- Lace top: described as very attractive, one of the standout details
- Transparency: appropriately sheer, letting the legs show without being overly see-through
- Foot section: no shaped heel, so either leg fits either stocking
- Sizing: LXL fits well but the SM size is not suited to larger legs
- Warmth: noticeably warm on the skin, worth bearing in mind in hot weather
On fit, Chiara found the LXL slightly generous but not unmanageably so, and concludes that the smaller SM size would likely have worked too. She points out that with only two sizes on offer, the range is not designed with curvier or plus-size legs in mind, and the LXL is simply the larger of two fairly standard cuts.
Chiara styled the stockings first with a sporty casual outfit and closed shoes, positioning the band at two different heights to show how the lace can be displayed more or less prominently depending on preference. She personally preferred wearing them slightly higher. In the second outfit she paired them with a long Zara dress and stilettos for a more formal and elegant look, finding the effect on the legs equally pleasing in both contexts.
The verdict is strongly positive. Chiara is very satisfied with the purchase, praising the lace embroidery, the quality of the silicone bands, and the overall appearance on the leg. Her main practical note is on sizing: if the LXL fits a relatively average frame well, shoppers with larger legs should be aware the range may not accommodate them comfortably.
