Watch Marine’s full review of the Maquiavelica Black Stockings with Vertical Lines. In this video she unboxes a pair of patterned fishnet stockings purchased in Córdoba, Argentina, tries them on with two different outfits, and gives her honest assessment of fit, texture, and versatility.
The packaging is a simple transparent bag with a small cardboard insert to help the stockings keep their shape during storage. Marine notes that the stockings come in one size only, intended to fit a wide range of body types. The colour is a solid black, and the construction features minimal seaming throughout, which she highlights as a practical advantage when wearing fitted dresses.
The texture is the first thing Marine singles out for praise. The fabric feels notably soft against the skin, with none of the scratchiness or rigidity she has encountered with other hosiery brands. She describes all of the Maquiavelica stockings she has tried as having a consistent gentleness in their feel. The pattern itself is a small-mesh fishnet combined with vertical stripe detailing, which she says gives the stockings a vintage character she finds very appealing.
Here is a summary of the key points Marine covers in her review:
- Texture: exceptionally soft and smooth against the skin, no scratching
- Pattern: small fishnet mesh with vertical lines for a vintage feel
- Colour: deep, consistent black
- Seams: very discreet at the toe, suitable even with open sandals
- Fit: one size only, less compressive than standard sized hosiery
- Alignment: vertical lines require readjusting periodically to stay straight
- Versatility: works for daytime and evening looks
Marine tries the stockings with two outfits. The first is a short cotton dress with a small red floral print, paired with lace-up heeled shoes. She feels the combination works well and leans into the vintage mood created by the stripe pattern, even though she normally avoids mixing too many visual elements at once. She considers this look suitable for a daytime coffee, a casual lunch, or a relaxed evening drink, though she would lean toward wearing them more at night.
The main drawback Marine identifies is related to the one-size construction. Because the stockings are designed to accommodate all body shapes, they do not grip the leg as firmly as sized hosiery would. This means the vertical lines can shift out of alignment and need to be repositioned fairly regularly. She frames this as a trade-off: the looser fit avoids the tearing she often experiences with stockings that are cut too small and pulled too tight, but it does sacrifice some of the secure, sculpted feel she sometimes wants.
For the second outfit Marine changes into a velvet dress for an evening look, which she begins to present toward the end of the video. Her overall verdict is positive. She recommends the Maquiavelica Black Stockings with Vertical Lines for anyone who values softness and a textured, vintage-inspired aesthetic, and she notes that the minimal seaming makes them adaptable to a wider range of footwear choices including sandals.
