Watch Diana’s full review of the Merry Style MS 252 tights in black. In this Glamissima video review, Diana tests the fit, texture, comfort and overall quality of this unusual dual-texture hosiery model, in what is also a piece of channel history: the very first video published on Glamissima back in 2017.
Merry Style is a German hosiery brand, and the MS 252 model arrived for this review directly from Amazon. The packaging sets a promising tone: a minimal design lifted by silver bands that give it a fashion-forward touch, a combination Diana appreciates before even opening the box. Nothing in the packaging, though, prepares her for the design inside, and her genuine surprise on camera is one of the best moments of the video: she has simply never seen tights built like this.
The MS 252 is essentially two textures in one garment. The thigh section is sheer, crossed by horizontal bands, while from the knee down the fabric switches to a thick, opaque knit with a raised vertical-band texture. The visual effect is striking: the opaque lower section looks almost like a separate piece layered over sheer tights, as if you were wearing stockings and legwarmers fused into a single garment. Here are the key points from Diana’s hands-on and wearing tests:
- Sheer thigh section with horizontal bands, the part Diana calls the most seductive detail of the design
- Thick, textured opaque knit from the knee down with raised vertical ribbing
- A legging-like feel on the leg: soft and adherent without ever compressing, leaving movement completely free
- Invisible construction: seams so well made they can neither be seen nor felt, even at the toe
- A soft waistband that disappears when seated, with no digging or discomfort
- A slimming optical effect, helped by the contrast between the horizontal upper bands and vertical lower texture
Diana styles the tights in two outfits. The first is a cozy daytime look: a red Sisley sweater with a thick, warm wool collar paired with denim shorts, an easy combination that plays on the sporty side of the design. The second dresses the tights up: a cream silk blouse with the same denim shorts, where the cream tone contrasts with the black and makes the tights the protagonist of the look. Diana suggests this second pairing for an evening out, a club night, a pub or an aperitivo, a more chic and elegant interpretation that still keeps a youthful, playful spirit thanks to the denim.
Her conclusions could not be clearer: these tights did not just meet her expectations, they exceeded them. She had never seen anything like them, and she loves that they manage to be sporty, elegant and sexy at the same time. The comfort verdict is equally enthusiastic: no marks on the leg, no irritation of any kind, and a fit true to her size that can be worn comfortably for an entire evening. Black, she confesses, is her favorite color in hosiery, and this design gives it a completely new personality.
