Watch Micaela’s full review of the Maquiavelica Black Hold-Up Stockings. In this video, Micaela is joined by a second presenter and the two try on the stockings together, comparing their individual impressions and styling them across multiple looks.
Both presenters note that the stockings come in two distinct styles: one with a more detailed lace top and one with a simpler, more understated band. The lace-topped pair stood out as the clear favourite for both reviewers, with its delicate lace detail described as refined and visually appealing. The simpler pair was considered more of a basic, everyday option.
Micaela observes the following key features of the stockings across both styles:
- Lace welt: the more detailed pair features a frill and lace design that both reviewers admired
- Silicone strip: both styles include an interior silicone grip band to keep the stocking in place on the thigh
- Toe area: described as having minimal reinforcement, which raised some durability concerns
- Fabric feel: noted as soft and somewhat sheer, with one presenter expressing doubt about long-term resistance
- Net texture: the body of the stocking has a fine mesh or net construction that reads as nearly plain from a distance
- Fit: described as comfortable and very stretchy, reaching well up the thigh without restricting circulation
One presenter was more enthusiastic, finding the stockings comfortable, elastic, and secure on the thigh regardless of sizing. The other was more reserved, feeling the fabric looked a little fragile and might not hold up well over time. The toe area in particular was singled out as lacking a solid reinforcement, which fed into concerns about durability.
For styling, the pair was shown with a short skirt where the lace top would just peek out with movement, a total black look with a long fitted skirt, and a more colourful outfit. The reviewers agreed that the net texture pairs better with solid-coloured garments rather than patterned ones, as combining it with a checked or heavily textured fabric was felt to be visually busy.
In summary, both reviewers agreed that the lace-top version is the stronger of the two styles, with its fine detail elevating an otherwise simple hold-up stocking. The plainer version is positioned as a solid basic. Neither pair sits at a high price point, and for the cost, both are considered reasonable choices. Micaela’s overall verdict is positive, with a particular appreciation for the lace detailing and the comfortable, stretchy fit.
