A 40 den tight knitted to imitate fine mesh, shot through with lurex thread and finished with a reinforced top knitted as shorts — the mesh look without the open holes of an actual net.
Highlights
✓
Conte's word is imitation, and that is the important one: the mesh effect runs throughout but this is a continuous 40 den fabric, not an open net. If you want a real fishnet, this is the wrong product — and if you want the look without bare skin showing through, it is the right one.
✓
A reinforced top knitted in the form of shorts — the only one of Conte's patterned tights stocked here with a reinforced top section at all, and the part that keeps a textured knit sitting where you put it.
✓
83% polyamide, 9% elastane, 8% polyester — one of only two Conte tights here with polyester in the blend, and both of those are the lurex styles. Conte does not state which fibre carries the shimmer.
✓
Flat seam and cotton gusset are specified; no toe reinforcement is, which is worth knowing on a textured knit. Conte also publishes no washing instructions of any kind, and metallic thread is exactly the sort of fabric where that gap matters.
✓
One colour, Nero Black, in Conte sizes 2 to 5, across eleven photographs. The scale of the mesh is not published, nor whether the effect is knitted in or printed, nor the height-and-weight grid behind the size numbers.
The straight comparison is Conte Luxe Dots Fantasy Tights — the other lurex style here, at 30 den with a dotted repeat and no reinforced top. This one is denser, more structured and textured rather than spotted. Among the non-shimmering patterns, Conte Alba Fantasy Tights and Conte Graphic Fantasy Tights are 50 den geometrics, Conte Ingrid Fantasy Tights is a 20 den geometric, and Conte Optic Fantasy Tights changes density mid-leg to imitate an over-the-knee sock. All of them are still being set up here.
If you want plain 40 den instead of a mesh effect at the same denier, that is Conte Top Soft 40 Den, or Conte Active Soft 40 Den if you want a denser shorts section as well. More in the hosiery collection or the wider women's department.
