Watch Martina’s full review of the Falke Shelina 12 Denier Tights. Ordered via Amazon and arriving in perfect condition, these sheer tights come packaged with a branded promotional leaflet that includes illustrated guidance on how to put them on correctly, a thoughtful touch that Martina notes she had not encountered before with other brands.
The tights are 12 denier, making them extremely sheer and lightweight. Martina describes the finish as non-opaque, allowing the natural skin tone to show through clearly beneath the fabric. The colour reviewed is Perfect Black, and the overall construction is plain and smooth, with no decorative patterns or textures.
Martina tried these in size three, and found them very straightforward to put on thanks to the high elasticity of the fabric. She notes there is generous fabric length, meaning that even taller wearers would have plenty of coverage. The waistband did not pull or dig in during wear.
Here is a summary of the key features Martina observed on this product:
- Denier: 12, giving a very sheer, barely-there look
- Colour: Perfect Black with visible skin tone beneath
- Gusset: reinforced double-fabric panel, neatly finished
- Toe: no additional reinforcement at the toe noted
- Elasticity: very stretchy, easy to put on and comfortable through movement
- Comfort: no pulling, pinching or irritation against the skin
- Feel: lightweight yet the fabric has a reassuringly resistant texture to the touch
During the wear test across two outfits, Martina found the tights moved well with the body, following every motion such as bending, crossing the legs and sitting without any resistance or discomfort. She felt confident wearing them without worrying about damaging the fabric, though she does remind viewers that any sheer tight, regardless of brand, always carries some risk of a run and care should be taken.
Martina styled the tights first with a fitted geometric-patterned dress and simple black court shoes for an evening look, then with a plain black ribbed bat-wing dress. She felt the sheer simplicity of the tights complemented both outfits, enhancing the appearance of the leg while keeping the overall look understated and elegant. Her suggestion is that these are particularly suited to evening occasions.
Her overall verdict is very positive. Despite the very low denier, the Falke Shelina tights feel noticeably more durable than expected and are comfortable enough to wear all day without being aware of them. Martina considers them a refined, feminine everyday sheer and would recommend them to anyone who appreciates a classic, smooth velate tight.
