Black tights knitted at two deniers, 70 and 30, with a geometric pattern designed to read as a separate over-the-knee sock worn over a sheer leg.
Highlights
✓
Two deniers, published as 70/30. A tight can only imitate a sock over a bare leg by changing density partway up, and that is what those two numbers are for — but Conte does not state which figure applies to which part of the leg, or where the transition sits.
✓
The two names on this listing disagree. Conte's own description calls the pattern a "golf imitation" — a knee-high sock — while the title says overknees, which sit above the knee. Those are different garments and the listing does not reconcile them, so check the photographs before deciding which look you are getting.
✓
Conte never says whether the geometric is knitted into the fabric or printed onto it. On a patterned tight that is the difference between a pattern that survives washing and one that may not, and it is unstated across Conte's whole patterned range here.
✓
92% polyamide, 8% elastane, with a flat seam and a cotton gusset. No toe reinforcement is specified here, where Conte does specify a reinforced toe on several of its other patterned tights — so treat the toe as plain until confirmed.
✓
One colour, Nero Black, in Conte sizes 2 to 5 — and only four photographs on the listing, none of them a size chart. The height-and-weight grid behind those size numbers is not published here, which matters more on a patterned tight where the motif has to land in the right place.
This is the trompe-l'œil option in Conte's patterned range here: the pattern is doing a job, not just decorating. The alternatives are all-over geometrics — Conte Alba Fantasy Tights at 50 den with a diamond repeat, Conte Graphic Fantasy Tights at 50 den, Conte Ingrid Fantasy Tights at 20 den — or a single placed motif in Conte True Love Fantasy Tights, which puts a tattoo-style figure on one leg only. All four of those are still being set up here.
If you want plain instead of patterned, Conte's sheer range runs from 15 to 40 den — Conte Top Soft 40 Den is the straightforward one. More in the hosiery collection or the wider women's department.
92% polyamide, 8% elastane. 70/30 den. Sizes S (2), M (3), L (4) and XL (5). One colour: Nero Black. Geometric "golf imitation" pattern, flat seam, cotton gusset. Conte states only "Made in Europe" — no country of manufacture is named. Not published on this listing: which denier applies to which section of the leg and where the change falls, whether the pattern is knitted in or printed, whether the toe is reinforced, the height-and-weight grid behind sizes 2 to 5, washing or care instructions, and how the "golf imitation" wording squares with the overknee height in the title. Contact us and we will ask Conte for the size grid, the pattern construction and the care label before you order.
