Watch Laura’s full review of the Veneziana Transparent Hold-Ups with Black Seam. In this video she unboxes the stockings, examines them up close, and wears them with two different outfits so viewers can see exactly how they look both standing and seated.
The stockings are 20 denier, giving them a notably sheer and transparent appearance while still adding a visible luminosity to the leg. Laura describes the fabric as very soft and delicate to the touch, and notes that the nude colour sits close to the skin in a way that catches the light and creates a smooth, polished finish.
The most distinctive design features of these hold-ups set them apart from a plain stocking:
- Silicone lace top: a wide lace band at the thigh with embroidery described as evoking the aesthetic of Venice
- Black back seam: runs continuously from the thigh attachment all the way down to the sole of the foot
- Nude base colour: sheer enough to read as skin-toned while adding visible sheen
- Stretch fabric: the stocking is elasticated and conforms closely to the leg
- Size 2 fit: Laura wears a size S and confirms that size 2 is the correct choice for that body size
On the question of hold, Laura is emphatic that these stay firmly in place at the thigh throughout the review, both standing and seated. She points out that hold-up stockings can lose their grip after repeated wear, but these remained securely attached during her try-on. The silicone lace band is given credit for this performance.
Laura notes one minor practical point: with high-heeled court shoes the sole of the foot felt slightly slippery. She is clear that this is a property of the shoe combination rather than a fault in the stocking itself, and recommends pairing the hold-ups with more comfortable footwear if the slipping sensation is a concern.
The black back seam is highlighted repeatedly as the standout visual detail. Laura wore the stockings with two black dresses and found that the seam picked up the colour of both the dress and the shoes, tying the whole look together. She also notes that at 20 denier the stockings are versatile enough to wear during the day at work or for an aperitif, as well as for evening occasions. The packaging is described as attractive and well presented.
Laura’s overall verdict is strongly positive. The Veneziana hold-ups held their position, felt comfortable, covered minor skin imperfections thanks to the light-enhancing sheen, and the combination of the decorative lace top and the running black seam makes them a distinctive choice. She recommends them without reservation.
