Well, I couldn’t hold out until Saturday. The night was cool and breezy. I’m nylon deprived. So I buckled and put on a pair of stockings. These stockings to be exact:
These are the Jonathan Aston micronet tights, made of 75% nylon, 25% lycra, available in sizes S-L, and in two colors–black and natural. They have a cotton gusset and a non-reinforced (albeit seamed) toe. I purchased a pair in black during the Figleaves US clearance sale at the bargain price of $7.00. For comparision, these tights are currently being sold on the Figleaves UK site for £8.00 or roughtly $16.00 USD.
I rarely give an unmitigated review, and perhaps it’s the stocking withdrawal talking, but I love these stockings. They’re durable, true to size, fashionable, well-fitting, and look sexy-as-hell on the leg.
Often, micronet tights look (and feel) like tulle, which is nice but not always what I’m in the mood for. The Jonathan Aston micronets, however, are just very small fishnets. From a distance, they give the impression of sheer, textured tights. Only up close, do you notice the fine fishnet pattern. The fishnets are small enough that I can even see wearing these to the office with a nice pair of trousers.
I wore these tights for several hours, and loved them more by the minute. I’m only hoping they last longer than the last pair of tights I reviewed. A+.
