Watch Martina’s full review of the Levante 20 Denier Sheer Tights with Reinforced Toe. Sent to her via Amazon, these tights arrived in fully intact packaging with the hosiery sealed inside a cardboard-backed wrapper. The packaging itself describes them as having an opaque elegant look finish, which Martina found to be an accurate description once she had them on.
The tights are made from 80% polyamide, 17% elastane, and 3% cotton, a blend that Martina noted should produce a soft and stretchy result. She was wearing size S, and while she found the waistband felt a little resistant as she pulled them on, she confirmed that the sizing was correct for her. The high elastane content meant the fabric felt very stretchy to handle before wearing.
Examining the construction before putting them on, Martina noted a reinforced section at the waistband with what appeared to be extra yarn worked into the weave. There is a simple seam running down to the gusset, and the reinforced toe forms a clearly visible, well-defined panel on the foot. She found this toe section felt noticeably sturdy to the touch.
Key features Martina observed during the review:
- Denier: 20 denier, sheer with a semi-opaque finish
- Composition: 80% polyamide, 17% elastane, 3% cotton
- Reinforced toe: clearly visible and felt resistant to the touch
- Waistband: noticeable compression, felt tight especially when seated
- Fit: correct in size S, though putting them on required some effort from the mid-leg upward
- Texture: slightly rough to the touch on close inspection, despite soft yarn content
- Colour: opaque black effect that still allows skin to show through at 20 denier
Martina styled the tights in two outfits. The first paired them with a simple dark-toned dress, a belt, and black court shoes, which she felt suited the tights well given their understated opaque-effect black colour. The second outfit combined them with high-waisted shorts, a vest top, an oversized grey cardigan, and knee-high cowboy boots. In both cases she considered the tights a versatile, simple choice.
On wearing them through the day, Martina noted that the seam on the right foot shifted slightly, which she attributed to the pointed shape of her shoes rather than a fault in the tights themselves. The effect on the leg she described as flattering, with the colour appearing to slim the leg. The waistband pressure was the one consistent criticism: she felt it clearly while standing and more so while seated.
Overall Martina gave a positive verdict, saying she would happily wear these tights again, particularly appreciating their simplicity and the neat opaque-effect finish at 20 denier. Her main reservation was the tightness of the waistband, and she advised care around sharp accessories such as bracelets or bag hardware that could snag the fine knit.
