Dense 100 den leggings with a ribbed texture and a matte finish — the highest denier Conte publishes across the hosiery stocked here.
Highlights
✓
100 den, matte and ribbed. The rib is the visible difference from a plain opaque legging, and matte is the finish — Conte specifies both, so neither is a guess.
✓
95% polyamide, 5% elastane — the lowest elastane content of any Conte hosiery on this store, where the sheer tights run 8% to 19%. Conte does not say what that means for stretch or recovery, so we won't either.
✓
The biggest gap on this page: Conte never states whether these are footless or have a foot. There is a cotton gusset and a flat seam specified, but no toe, no sole and no ankle finish is mentioned anywhere. Ask us before ordering if that decides it for you.
✓
Five colours, and Conte names three of them in Italian — Bianco, Panna and Cappuccino, alongside Graphite and Nero Black. No swatch or shade reference is published for any of them, which matters most on the three pale tones.
✓
Conte lists these under its "fantasy" hosiery line, which elsewhere means a pattern — but no pattern is published for this style. The rib is the only texture named, so do not buy these expecting a motif.
Conte's own use case is cool-weather layering — under a tunic, an oversized sweatshirt or shorts — and at 100 den these read as a garment in their own right rather than as hosiery under something. That puts them in a different job from the rest of this Conte group: the sheer tights run 15 to 50 den, where Conte Active Soft 40 Den is the densest of the plain ones. If you want opaque with a pattern instead, Conte Alba Fantasy Tights is 50 den with a diamond geometric. For a ribbed texture on a cotton knee-high rather than a legging, Conte's Classic 009 knee highs carry one too.
Conte sizes 2 to 5, sold here as S to XL. Those numbers map to a height-and-weight grid, and that grid is not published on this listing — on a 100 den legging, where the fabric has less give than a sheer tight, it is the thing most likely to make a pair the wrong size. See the rest of the hosiery collection or the wider women's department.
95% polyamide, 5% elastane. 100 den, matte, ribbed. Sizes S (2), M (3), L (4) and XL (5). Colours: Bianco, Panna, Cappuccino, Graphite, Nero Black. Cotton gusset and flat seam. Conte states only "Made in Europe" — no country of manufacture is named. Not published on this listing: whether these are footless or have a foot, the height-and-weight grid behind sizes 2 to 5, washing or care instructions, inseam or total length, waistband depth or type, rib width, and any pattern despite the "fantasy" category name. Contact us and we will ask Conte for the size grid, the foot detail and the care label before you order.
