Watch Chiara’s full review of the Falke Seidenglatt Flesh-Tone Stay-Up Stockings with Wide Band. These hold-up stockings arrived as part of her ongoing series of hosiery reviews on Glamissima, and she puts them through their paces across two different outfits to give a rounded verdict on both elegance and everyday wearability.
The stockings are 15 denier, described on the packaging as both transparent and shining, which immediately sets expectations for a lightweight, luminous finish. The material composition is 86% polyamide, 14% elastane for the stocking itself, with the elastic band running at 87% polyamide and 13% elastane. The shade reviewed is powder, a flesh tone, and Chiara notes that while her skin is slightly lighter than the colour, the match reads as convincingly natural on camera.
From the moment she takes them out of the packaging, Chiara is struck by how soft they feel in hand, and how the wide lace band stands out as a key feature. Putting them on following the included instruction leaflet, she finds the process straightforward and notes they do not pinch or grip uncomfortably, something she flags as not always a given with hold-ups. The toe area has a very slight reinforcement visible at the front, though it is described as barely noticeable.
Key observations from the review:
- Denier: 15, giving a sheer, transparent look
- Sheen: described as shining but not excessive, a gentle luminosity
- Wide lace band: sits high on the thigh and is a defining visual feature
- Stay-up performance: held in place during the review without slipping down the thigh
- Comfort: very soft and described as feeling quite roomy rather than tight
- Colour match: powder tone reads credibly on fair to medium skin
- Thigh marking: minimal imprint left on the leg, which Chiara considers a positive
Chiara tries the stockings first with a dress she has worn in previous videos, positioning the hem so the wide band sits just covered or at mid-thigh. She then switches to a simpler, longer shirt-style dress to test whether the stockings work in a more casual, everyday context. In both cases she feels the leg looks evened out and well finished, though she personally finds the casual pairing a little too formal in feel for her daily routine.
The wide band does show a slight tendency to fold or roll at the top edge in certain positions, which Chiara mentions briefly, and she adjusts it during filming. This is a minor practical note rather than a significant complaint. Overall the fit across the thigh is comfortable and the stockings do not dig in, which she considers an important quality for hold-ups in this denier range.
Chiara closes with a clear positive verdict, saying she would buy them again without hesitation and intends to look into other styles from the same Falke line. She finds them versatile enough for both a dressed-up evening look and a smart daytime outfit, and is very satisfied with the effect they give on the leg. They are available through Amazon, with the link provided in the video description.
