Watch VideoGirlAry’s full review of the MaxMara 15 Denier Sheer Tights. These fine-knit tights come packaged with a branded cardboard insert highlighting the label’s commitment to quality yarns and tailored fit, presented as part of what the packaging describes as an exclusive high-quality collection. The all-grey outer sleeve gives little away about the product inside, and VideoGirlAry notes it is not the most striking presentation on the shelf.
The tights are 15 denier and black, arriving in a size S for this review. At that weight they are genuinely sheer, offering very little warmth, and VideoGirlAry is upfront that anyone who runs cold would struggle to wear them in winter without layering them under knee-high boots or pairing them with ankle socks inside a boot. Care instructions on the pack specify hand wash in cold water only, with no bleach, no tumble drying, no ironing and no dry cleaning.
Before even trying them on, VideoGirlAry notices several pulled threads in the fabric, both in the upper section and lower leg. While the pulled threads are concentrated in areas that would be hidden under clothing, she flags this as an immediate negative first impression for a premium product and expresses clear disappointment at finding the issue straight out of the packaging.
Key observations from the wear test:
- Sheerness: extremely sheer at 15 denier, little coverage or warmth
- Colour: deep black with a delicate, transparent appearance
- Pulled threads: visible snags noted on the tights before wearing
- Toe area: traditional sewn toe seam construction
- Sizing: VideoGirlAry was sent a size S instead of M, causing a tight fit
- Staying power: despite the wrong size, tights did not slip or drop during wear
- Comfort: described as comfortable with no irritation, even as the toe seam shifted slightly
The wrong size caused difficulty pulling the tights on, and VideoGirlAry initially worried she might ladder them in the process. In the end they held up through two outfit changes without any new damage. She does note that with the correct size she would expect to need to pull them up periodically less, though in practice they stayed in place surprisingly well even at the smaller size.
VideoGirlAry styled the tights in two looks: a red knit gilet with a black wool skirt, and a black dress with a black slip underneath for an evening feel. In both cases the tights read as a sleek, polished sheer layer suitable for smarter occasions rather than everyday warmth. The overall verdict is one of cautious approval tempered by the pulled threads found at unboxing and the sizing mix-up, with comfort and staying power the clear positives of an otherwise premium but imperfect experience.
