Officially 70 denier, but with the lighter appearance of around 40 denier, these tights recreate the look and feel of mid-century hosiery designed for everyday wear. The fine mesh knit provides subtle texture while maintaining a semi opaque finish that’s ideal for both office wear and vintage styling.

Made in Italy from 78% polyamide and 22% Lycra, they feature a high stretch content that gives light support — perfect if you’re on your feet all day. The reinforced heel and toe, a key 1960s detail, adds authenticity and longevity, making these tights as practical as they are elegant.

Whether you’re dressing for a winter event or need something sturdier for day-to-day wear, these black service weight tights balance comfort, durability, and retro charm beautifully.
