Watch Silvia’s full review of the Veneziana Black Sheer Hold-Ups. These hold-ups from Veneziana arrive in black and are described right from the outset as very sheer, with a low denier count that gives them an extremely lightweight, second-skin appearance on the leg.
Silvia examines the construction before trying them on, noting that the stay-up band at the top is present but not particularly tight. One detail she flags immediately is that the band lacks an internal silicone strip, which has a direct impact on how the stocking stays in place during wear.
The toe area features a reinforced gusset, which sits slightly raised compared to the rest of the stocking. Silvia notes that despite this extra thickness at the toe, the finish remains comfortable and does not cause any irritation. The overall feel from the first wear is described as very comfortable and easy on the leg.
Key observations from the review include:
- Sheerness: very low denier, highly transparent with a light, delicate effect
- Colour: elegant black that Silvia finds refined and versatile
- Stay-up band: no internal silicone, meaning the band tends to slip without a suspender belt
- Reinforced toe: slightly raised seam at the foot, but still comfortable
- Durability: a few snags appeared early in the review due to the very fine knit
- Sizing: Silvia recommends ordering your true size as the fit runs accurate
Silvia tries the hold-ups with two outfits. With a short pink summer dress the lace band is visible below the hemline, and she notes that a longer skirt or dress would be a better choice to keep the band concealed. The second pairing is a black sequinned bandeau dress with a slit, which she considers the more successful combination, creating a fully tonal look in black from stocking to shoe.
From a seated position Silvia confirms the hold-ups remain comfortable, but the absence of a silicone grip means they shift noticeably. She is clear that these stockings work best with a suspender belt to keep them properly in place, and that wearing them without one is possible but requires adjustment.
In her final verdict Silvia calls these a pretty pair of hold-ups that suit both daytime and evening wear, praising the sheer finish and the neat reinforced toe. The main practical caveat is the tendency to slip without a suspender belt, and the fine knit did pick up a few runs during the review session. She rates the brand positively overall and repeats her advice to stick to your true size when ordering.
