Watch Dakota’s full review of the ShawGobow Red Tights with Black Bows. These are a festive and distinctive pair of tights that Dakota picked up on Amazon, and they make for a fun seasonal try-on with some genuinely interesting design details worth looking at closely.
The most immediately striking feature of these tights is the black velvet bows placed along the leg. Dakota notes that the bows are not just decorative appliques but are actually constructed with cutout openings, meaning the skin shows through the bow shapes, adding a layered, textural effect. This detail sets them apart from a standard printed or woven pattern.
Dakota tried wearing the bows oriented toward the back of the leg rather than the front as originally intended, and felt that placement worked just as well, if not better, giving the look of a seamed stocking from behind. The tights also feature visible stitching between the bow elements, which contributes to the overall structured, crafted appearance.
Here is a summary of the key product observations Dakota shared during the try-on:
- Design: red tights with velvet bow details and cutout openings in the bow shapes
- Sizing: one size fits all, and the fit was confirmed as comfortable straight out of the packaging
- Comfort: described as exceptional, with a generous freedom of movement even when stretching and posing
- Construction: velvet bows with seam detail between them
- Price: noted as slightly more expensive than comparable novelty tights, but judged worth the cost
- Availability: purchased on Amazon
Dakota tried the tights with two different outfits during the review. The first paired them with a pink top, an honest admission that the pink and red combination looked better in imagination than in practice. The second was a bolder editorial look built around a bodysuit, short shorts, a wrap, and heels, which Dakota felt showed off just how much movement the tights allow without any restriction or discomfort.
Although Dakota generally does not favour fishnet or novelty tights, these were singled out as an exception because the pattern is genuinely unique and well executed rather than a generic holiday print. The velvet bow construction and the skin-revealing cutouts give the tights a more considered, fashion-forward quality. A concern that the red of the tights might clash with other red pieces in the outfits turned out not to be an issue in practice.
The overall verdict is strongly positive. Dakota describes the tights as phenomenal for comfort and praises the design as something that works across multiple styling approaches, from casual festive wear to a more directional, editorial look. They are recommended for anyone looking for a holiday hosiery option that goes beyond the standard seasonal pattern.
