Description

The layered look, without the layers. The Overknee is black tights with an opaque lower leg and a sheer upper for clean contrast. Lightweight, breathable, and finished with our signature seamless construction and adaptive waistband for all-day comfort.

Why We Love This

  • Clever layering: opaque leg meets sheer thigh for a layered look
  • Seamless: no gusset, no sagging, just second-skin comfort 
  • Adaptive: waistband hugs without digging
Composition & Care

84% Polyamide (Q-cycle by Fulgar), 16% Elastane
Made in Italy
Ideally, we recommend hand washing. Realistically, machine wash with care (cold 30°C and gentle) with similar colours. Line dry only. Do not bleach, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean.

What are The Overknee and how do they stay up?

The Overknee are over-the-knee stockings that stay in place without suspenders or clips — a silicone band at the top grips the thigh securely. No garter belt required; they hold independently throughout the day.

What are The Overknee made from?

84% Q-Cycle Fulgar Polyamide and 16% Elastane. Q-Cycle Fulgar is a sustainable yarn made from recycled nylon waste; the elastane provides the stretch and recovery needed to keep the stocking in place. Made in Italy.

Are The Overknee sustainable?

Yes. The polyamide is Q-Cycle Fulgar — a certified sustainable yarn produced from recycled nylon in a closed-loop process. Made in Italy.

How high do The Overknee sit on the leg?

Just above the knee — the exact height varies slightly with leg length, but the silicone band is positioned to grip the widest part of the mid-thigh on most fits.

What denier are The Overknee?

The Overknee are a sheer weight — lightweight enough to look elegant while providing a polished finish. The focus is on the silhouette and stay-up functionality rather than coverage.

How should I care for The Overknee?

Hand wash in cool water or machine wash cold on a delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag. Lay flat or hang to dry. Avoid tumble drying, and don't fold the silicone band back on itself — laying flat will extend its life.
