After spending an entire day and evening in the SENTELEGRI Mega Beautiful Semi Opaque Patterned Tights, I can confidently say they’re some of the favourite tights I’ve ever worn. From morning meetings to an evening out, these tights were right there with me—stylish, comfortable, and surprisingly durable. That said, they’re not without their quirks, so let’s dive into the details.
Morning: First Impressions and Fit
I put these tights on at 6 a.m., and right away, I could tell they were different. The material felt luxuriously soft but sturdy, with just the right amount of stretch. The 40 Denier thickness gave them a semi-opaque finish that offered great coverage without feeling too heavy. The real star, though, was the pattern—an elegant design that added a little flair without overwhelming my outfit. Paired with a tailored black dress and heels, I felt polished and put-together.
The waistband deserves a special mention. It sat snugly without digging in, which meant I didn’t spend the morning adjusting or tugging at them. They also passed the all-important bend-and-stretch test—no awkward sagging or slipping. So far, so good.
Afternoon: Comfort on the Move
By midday, I was running around, ticking off errands and attending back-to-back meetings. The tights moved beautifully with me, thanks to their 3D knit technology. They offered a smooth, flexible fit without any annoying bunching behind the knees or at the ankles. Even better, the semi-opaque finish kept me warm on a brisk autumn day without making me overheat indoors.
However, after several hours, I started to notice a slight itch around the waistband area. It wasn’t unbearable, but it was enough to make me wish for a little more softness in that region. For a pair of tights that’s marketed as premium, I expected them to be flawless in the comfort department.
Evening: Holding Up
Fast forward to dinner with friends and a few post-dinner cocktails, and the tights were still going strong. They maintained their shape, and the pattern looked just as good as it did in the morning. No snags or runs, which is impressive given my track record of accidentally ruining tights within hours.
That said, after 12+ hours of wear, the waistband started to feel a bit less comfortable. It wasn’t sliding down, but I was definitely more aware of its presence as the night went on. If you’re someone who prioritises all-day comfort above all else, this might be a small sticking point. But who wears tights for 18 hours!?
Style and Versatility
One of the standout features of these tights is how easily they elevate an outfit. Whether I was in workwear during the day or a more casual ensemble in the evening, they added an effortless touch of sophistication. I also love how versatile the semi-opaque finish is—it’s the perfect balance between modest coverage and a subtle hint of skin. I could easily see myself styling these with everything from skirts to oversized jumpers and even under ripped jeans for an edgy look.
Durability and Value
After one full day of wear, I’m pleased to report that these tights still look brand new. No sagging, no fading, and most importantly, no snags or holes. Given the premium price point, this durability makes them feel like a worthwhile investment. However, for the £7.99 price tag, I did expect just a teeny weeny bit more in the comfort department.
Why 4 Stars?
Overall, I’m giving the SENTELEGRI Mega Beautiful Semi Opaque Patterned Tights a solid 4 stars. They’re undeniably stylish, versatile, and durable, which is more than I can say for most tights. They held up beautifully throughout a long day, but the slight discomfort around the waistband by the end of the evening kept them from earning a perfect score. If they could improve that one area, these would easily become my holy grail tights.
Would I buy them again? Absolutely. They’ve already earned a spot in my regular rotation, and I’m excited to see how they hold up over time. If you’re looking for a pair of tights that can take you from work to play without compromising on style, these are definitely worth a try.
