Hanes Silk Reflections Women's Lace-Top, Sheer Toe, Thigh-High Stockings

I'm a mid-20s college student and I wear these almost every day, whenever I wear skirts/dresses. I've worn other brands, such as Nordstrom brand, that fall down after one wear, or are severely laddered following a tiny snag or wear in the toes. Nothing can ruin the day more than throwing away a new pair of nylons! Durability. I can make Hanes' thigh highs last at least six or seven wears before the silicon bands turn white and start to slip. The nylon, while not quite as sheer as the Nordstom brand, is durable and can withstand numerous small snags. They rarely ladder and the toes can withstand pretty good wear as well. I do treat them like priceless heirlooms, though, by wearing gloves while putting them on, not touching them during the day, and keeping them in zip lock bags in my hosiery drawer when not in use. Sizing. I am 5'5" and vary between 130-140lb. The A/B size fits perfectly. The band might be on the snug side (not a bad thing) but the C/D size is much too long with only a little more room in the thigh. C/D gathers at my ankles. Colour. I have very pale olive-toned skin on my legs. I've worn all five colours available. - "Jet" is a true black that is sheer and suitable for black-hemmed skirts. - "Barely black" is a warm, smokey off-black that is suitable for black- or brown-hemmed skirts. - "Barely there" is a caramel-tone nude that is too dark for me. Suitable for light skirts. - "Little color" is lighter and cooler than "Barely there," almost like dark camel or something - it's a good tan colour for me and suitable for light skirts. - "Travel buff" is almost a perfect match for my tanless thighs, a very light white-ish sand colour. Overall, these are the best middle-range priced thigh highs you can get. They are a good mix of quality, colour, and durability.

I guess these are good by current standards, But they don’t measure up to the ones of 10 or 20 years ago. The lacy elastic top is very wide. It’s twice as wide as my older ones and because it’s so wide, they want to slip down. I didn’t get them too large, and the top feels quite tight on my thigh, even though it wants to slip. I am 5’4” 125pounds and I got size recommended. This is a lot of money for stockings that don’t fit as well as the older style for less. I will use them sparingly and stick with kneehighs as much as possible as I can’t afford to keep buying these.

Very nice quality. It fit me well and stays up. Color is barely there, so looks very natural. There is a rubberized part on the lace so they stay put. Would buy again.

I’m a tall girl, 5’8”, with long legs and the GH size is long enough so I don’t have to overstretch them to fit properly! They seem to wear pretty well too, third or fourth time and still no runs or holes. So far so good!

not as silky feeling as I thought they would be.
