Watch Lube’s full review of the Wolford Black Hold-Up Effect Tights. In this video Lube puts on a pair of black Wolford tights featuring a faux hold-up band detail, trying them with two different outfits to show how the tights look in real wear.
The tights are 40 denier, which gives them enough opacity to read as a solid colour on the leg while still allowing a little skin tone to show through at closer range. Lube notes that the shade reads as a very dark brown rather than a pure black, describing it as a black that is not fully opaque, sitting somewhere between the two tones.
A key feature of these tights is the faux hold-up band printed or woven into the upper thigh area, mimicking the look of a real suspender belt and stocking top. Lube finds this detail very attractive, though she observes that wearing size M places the band higher on the thigh than she would prefer, making it hard to see without lifting a skirt.
Key observations from the review:
- 40 den opacity: solid enough to cover the leg well while retaining a slight skin-tone warmth
- Faux hold-up band: decorative band on the upper thigh imitating a stocking top
- Colour: very dark brown-black, not a pure opaque black
- Waistband: reaches comfortably to the waist with no irritation
- Sizing verdict: Lube recommends sizing down to S so the faux band sits lower and is more visible
- Durability: tights feel sturdy and built to be worn multiple times
- Price: above average for the tights market, but quality feels noticeably higher
Lube tried the tights with two outfits: first a ruffled skirt and body combination, and then a sheer polka-dot dress. The second outfit in particular allowed the faux hold-up band to be seen clearly, and she felt it suited an evening occasion better, while the first look worked for daytime as well.
On fit and comfort, the waistband sits at a natural height and caused no discomfort during wear. There is some excess fabric in the leg at size M, which reinforces Lube’s advice to go down a size. The toe area looks neat on camera and she has no complaints about the construction.
Overall Lube is satisfied with these Wolford tights. She considers them a premium-priced product that justifies the cost through noticeably careful construction and durability, and she confirms she would buy them again, opting for size S next time.
