Reversible tights - tights discontinued by Music legs - review by Breas

The Reversible Tights by Music Legs are available in the colours green, grey, or black and in one-size-fits-most only. I purchased the grey coloured tights. I am a size XL with thicker legs and thighs but have had fairly good success with OSFM tights because they are so stretchy.

The stockings are packaged in plastic with a cardboard piece acting as the outer packaging. The front of the packaging states the company name and has a photo of a model wearing the stockings. The back of the packaging states the product name, material composition, and suggested weight and height bracket for the OSFM. Inside of the plastic packaging, the stockings are wrapped around a thin piece of cardboard. The packaging is not ideal for storage. I keep mine in my sock drawer.



The pantyhose are 100% nylon and are stretchy in both width and length. They are quite thick and seem to be durable. There is no lining in the crotch of the pantyhose. The waistband at the very top is 1 ½ inches in length not stretched. The waistband is a double layer of material and is thick. The waist is 8 3/8 inches wide when not stretched. I was able to stretch the waist to approximately 23 ½ inches. The length of the stockings from waistband to toe is 42 inches not stretched and can be stretched to well over 60 inches.

Beneath the waistband, the tights are a solid colour for 7 ¼ inches in length, not stretched. This area of the pantyhose becomes sheer the more it is stretched. The rest of the pantyhose length (beneath the solid coloured area) is patterned. The best way I can describe the pattern is by saying that they are columns of circles that run vertically down the stockings. The stockings are grey and the pattern is black in colour.

Calling the pantyhose reversible is a bit misleading. You can indeed reverse the pantyhose but the other side is not what you’d expect. The difference in the pattern is very subtle when you reverse them. The only difference is that the columns of circles are not black in colour when reversed- they are a light grey colour. So when you reverse the stockings, you change the patterns colour.



When you reverse the stockings, you also are left with all of the inner seams protruding from the pantyhose. So the seam that runs from the top centre waist band down the crotch and up the centre back is now sitting on the outside of the pantyhose. That part isn’t a huge deal to me because I purchased the pantyhose to wear beneath a skirt so no one would even notice this.

The other area of the stockings that has protruding seams is in the toe area. These are the visible seams that bother me because I usually wear open toe shoes with my pantyhose. If you don’t want to call attention to your inside out stockings, you’ll want to wear a pair of closed toe shoes with them when reversed.



The packaging gives suggested height and weight brackets for the OSFM. The suggested height bracket is 5’-5’10” and the weight bracket is 100-175lbs. I’m 5’6 in height and my weight is somewhere in the high 160’s. So I’m almost at the centre of the height bracket and closer to the higher end of the weight bracket. I’m happy to report that the pantyhose actually fit me!

I’ve had issues with stockings in the past, even though I’ve been within the weight bracket, when it comes to length. I’m able to pull the reversible pantyhose up to my belly button. I’m not sure how well they’d fit someone who is at the higher end of the suggested height bracket but for me at 5’6”, they fit nicely.



The stockings are fairly opaque but the more you stretch them, the sheerer they become. The higher up the stocking is on my thigh, the sheerer they become. This is because I have really thick thighs though. My hips are 41 inches and the waistband is not uncomfortable.

The pantyhose are comfortable and non-irritating to the skin. The care instruction symbols on the packaging state that the pantyhose should be hand washed in cold water and hung to dry. The pantyhose should not be ironed or bleached.

Overall, I’m quite happy with the stockings. My biggest worry was that the pantyhose would be too short for my height. The length works well for me, they’re comfortable, and durable! I’ve deducted one star from the rating because of the seams when reversed. The difference in each side is very subtle so as long as you’re not looking for a drastic change when reversed, I’d recommend them.
