Mesh-knit stockings were hugely popular in the 1950s and 1960s thanks to their durability — a clever solution for women who wanted to look elegant without sacrificing longevity. Our semi opaque version follows in that tradition, made from a fine Italian mesh that feels soft and resilient, yet looks far lighter on the leg than its official denier suggests.

While technically a 70 denier knit, the airy mesh structure gives these stockings the appearance of around 40 denier — hence the name semi opaque. The result is a stocking that strikes the perfect balance between coverage and sheerness, ideal for cooler days or for anyone who prefers a little extra substance to their nylons.

Finished with a reinforced heel and toe for authentic 1960s style, these Italian-made stockings blend a smooth fit with subtle texture. Crafted from 78% polyamide and 16% elastane, they stretch comfortably to flatter every curve while maintaining that distinctive retro mesh look.

Julian ★★★★★

I wore these for a full workday and they held up with no snags or bagging at the knees. The semi opaque black is a nice middle ground, dark enough to look polished but not so sheer that every little thing shows through.

Hannah ★★★★★

These have the perfect vintage look with a sheer back seam, and the semi opaque finish hides any little bumps without feeling heavy. Wore them all evening under a pencil skirt and the waistband stayed put.

Owen I. ★★★★★

I was worried semi opaque would look too sheer, but the black is properly dense and hides leg stubble nicely. The RHT back seam stays straight all day too, no twisting.
