Gatta Sheer Black High-Waist Tights with Reinforced Thigh Line
Description
Sheer black high-waist tights that stay where you put them
These high-waist tights by Gatta are sheer black on the leg, with a denser panty part that comes up high. The maker says that part does not roll down at the waist, which is the usual complaint with tights.
They are 80% polyamide and 20% spandex, made in Poland, and come in four sizes.

The piece: model 195599 by Gatta
Gatta makes hosiery, and it describes these tights as a Polish product. The text names the yarn in the panty part: LYCRA Xceptionelle, a branded stretch fibre. It adds two construction details, a high rise and a reinforced thigh line.
The tights come in a box with a pouch inside, which the maker suggests for travel. The DEN value is missing from the data. Judging by the photos they are on the sheer side.
Who it's for
For you if you spend the day pulling your tights back up. A high, firm top part is the fix for that, and Gatta built these around it.
The size range goes up to 5-XL, with hips to 128 cm.
Closer look: what the maker's data and the photos show
- Panty part in LYCRA Xceptionelle (maker's data); visibly denser than the leg (photos)
- High rise (maker's data), above the navel on the model (photos)
- Reinforced thigh line (maker's data); a darker band around the top of each thigh (photos)
- Sheer black leg (photos)
- Box and pouch packaging (maker's data)
Materials: a lot of stretch
The composition is 80% polyamide and 20% spandex. Twenty percent stretch fibre is high for tights, and it fits the maker's promise of a close fit that holds at the waist.
The reinforced thigh line sits where tights rub and tend to give up first.
Size and fit: hips decide
Gatta sizes by hip measurement: 100-112 cm for 2-S, 104-116 cm for 3-M, 108-120 cm for 4-L and 108-128 cm for 5-XL. The ranges overlap a lot. If two sizes fit your number, your height can decide: taller women usually prefer the larger one.
The maker gives no height chart, so that last tip is ours.
Size chart (cm)
| Size | Hips |
|---|---|
| 2-S | 100-112 |
| 3-M | 104-116 |
| 4-L | 108-120 |
| 5-XL | 108-128 |

Styling: the classic
Sheer black tights and black pumps, as in the photos, go with almost any skirt or dress. The high top part sits flat under fitted dresses and pencil skirts.
The darker thigh band shows under very short hems, so keep that in mind with a mini.
Occasions
The maker says everyday and special occasions. We think of long days: a conference, a wedding, a dinner with dancing, any day when you do not want to think about your tights.
Care: follow the packaging
The maker's data has no care instructions; they will be on the box. Fine tights are generally washed by hand or in a laundry bag and dried flat.
The wow detail: it comes with its own pouch
Most tights come in a cardboard sleeve you throw away. These come with a pouch. Keep a spare pair in it at the bottom of your bag, and a ladder at four in the afternoon stops being a problem.
