If the sun has come out & everyone is wearing their favourite sundresses, but you still crave that flawless coverage that only hosiery can provide, your solution lies in Falke. By adding the Shelina Hold Ups to the Shelina collection, the German brand have let those who enjoy the freedom of hold ups get one of the most realistic bare leg looks around. Made from a fine 12 denier fabric, your hold ups actually have an 8 denier appearance, a credit to the gorgeous material used to make them. Free from any elastane (apart from in the tops), your pins are treated to an oh so soft & smooth feel, leaving those around you wondering if you’re wearing any hosiery at all! Notorious for their even, flattering colour, there’s a shade available for most skin tones, as the brand have called up a dermatologist to adjust the tones according to your eye & hair colour – ensuring that the tone matches your natural leg colour beautifully for a flawless finish. The slight sheen to the appearance adds a realistic skin kissed glow, great for creating that post-holiday look. The tops of your hold ups measure 6.5cm wide & have been decorated with an intricate lace design which adds buckets of feminine charm. Proving that looks aren’t everything, the smart tops feature hypoallergenic bands of silicone on the inside which work to keep your hold ups in place all day long. You’ll notice that your toes are free from any visible reinforcement, perfect for when you want to show of those new peep toes or open toe sandals. Made for those with even the longest of legs, be sure to check our size guide if you’re a little unsure of what to go for. & one last thing ladies! Remember to wash your hold ups with the tops firmly closed, or better yet, in a hosiery bag. Avoid radiators at all costs to protect those grippy silicone bands.
