Annes Styling Black 20den Holdups Review by VideoGirlAry

Watch VideoGirlAry’s full review of the Annes Styling Exclusive 20 denier hold-ups in black, from the unboxing through two complete try-on looks.

Annes Styling is a brand that tends to work on the details rather than on the basics, and this model is a good example of that approach. On paper it is a straightforward black 20 denier hold-up, but the finish tells a different story: a seam line running down the leg, a small floral motif on the foot and a silicone band at the top. Three choices that give the stocking a distinct personality, and that not everyone will read the same way.

The review opens with the packaging. Everything arrives in its own sachet with instructions included, and the first thing VideoGirlAry notices is the hand of the fabric. It feels unusual to the touch, slightly rough, almost as if the knit were trying to imitate a fishnet effect. For a 20 denier that expectation of softness is strong, so the first impression is genuinely surprising and not entirely positive.

That impression changes once the stockings are on. Ary is clear about this: the texture that felt odd in the hand disappears completely on the leg. There is no scratchiness, no discomfort, and the knit reads far more evenly than the hands-on test suggested. It is a good reminder that hosiery cannot be judged from the packet alone.

The first look is built around a sheer piece, somewhere between a robe and a cover-up, chosen specifically to leave the leg fully on show. This is where the two most debated details come out. The black seam line that cuts down the leg is the element Ary likes most, and it does most of the work in giving the stocking its character. The small floral motif on the foot is the opposite case: she finds it unnecessary and poorly resolved, and points out that it becomes very obvious with sandals or any open shoe, which limits how the stockings can be styled.

The second outfit is a soft, minimal black dress, picked to see how the model behaves in a more understated context and while sitting down. This is where it works best. The seam stays the focal point, the leg reads clean, and the foot design takes up far less attention.

The closing section goes back to the silicone band at the top. It holds well on the thigh and there are no slipping issues during the session, but Ary is honest about her own preference: she normally buys hold-ups cut clean, with no band at all, which she finds simpler and more contemporary. It is a personal call rather than a fault of the product, and worth knowing if you are on the same side of that divide.

Here is what stands out from the review:

• The knit has a slightly grainy appearance and a rough hand, unusual for a 20 denier
• Once worn, they are comfortable and the fit is accurate, with no slipping
• The seam line down the leg is the most successful detail of the model
• The floral motif on the foot is divisive and very visible with open shoes
• The silicone band holds well but will not appeal to anyone who prefers a clean edge

Overall, this is a model that rewards a closer look. The seam gives it a character that plain black 20 denier hold-ups rarely have, and the comfort on the leg is better than the first touch suggests. Whether it works for you comes down to two things: how you feel about a decorative foot, and whether the silicone band is a feature or a compromise in your book.
