I kind of have mixed feelings about these Coquette black sheer thigh highs with lace top. I like them because they are accentuated by very nice, sexy black lace at the tops going all around the thigh. However I do not like the fact that they don’t stay up very well on their own and that the leg part is made of very thin, low quality nylon.

The lacy parts are excellent. It’s a floral-type pattern, (but don’t worry if flowers aren’t really your thing, they are small and not very evident) surrounded by a swirly/wavy pattern. The lace is also not flat across the top of the thigh high, it has a wavy shape. It seems as though the lace is very durable, and is easy to hook garters to. It is also very pretty; the lace is what makes these thigh-highs extra sexy.





The first problem is they do not stay up very well if you try to move around in them, especially when walking. However, this may be a sizing issue. I ordered the XL because I have bigger thighs but they were surprisingly loose. Thankfully for me, I purchased them to go with an outfit that has garter straps anyway. Another problem is they are pretty thin and will probably run very easily. There doesn’t seem to be any reinforcing at the toe or anything, either.



These stockings are packaged like most stockings, wrapped around cardboard in plastic. The package does not indicate what they are made of. It has the style number and size. There are also no written care instructions, just little picture symbols. I was not familiar with what all these symbols mean. The first indicates hand wash, and the second instructs not to tumble dry, but the other two I had to look up. The third symbol (a triangle with an X through it) indicates no bleach and the fourth (a circle with an X through it) means do not dry clean. The package also indicates that they are made in China, and has the Coquette website: coquette.com.

I do like them more than I dislike them, they are definitely worth the price in my opinion.

I have not used them often, but they are still holding up. I just try to be extra careful, as I do with all nylons, and I still usually end up with runs, but not so far with these.
