Erica M NYC I Heart U Tights

Design and Material

How Erica M.  describe them;

“Extremely soft to the touch, the I Heart U is an Erica M. bold basic. With a back and front seam and a faux sock detail, this pair will make you feel exceptionally coquettish. And with a heart detail that changes color according to the underwear you wear underneath, it will make your lover swoon.”


The Heart U Tights are 88% Nylon and 12% Elastane.


The tights are a seamless fishnet knit and are super soft, almost like silk and feel beautiful against your skin; but also very delicate.  As with any pair of premium tights - treat these with care and they will last; I will add care instructions as provided by Luxury Legs for you later in the blog.  

So stepping out in these, which are the red wine colour is definitely a statement.  I felt empowered and very ‘pin-up’ esque, as the tights have a seam located on the front and back of your legs and also have a cute faux sock effect - this is a great idea as it actually gives better protection to the delicate knit whilst you’re wearing them.  

Sizing and Care Instructions

I'm 5ft 4 and weigh 45kg, so I size 2 fitted me perfectly.  

Care instructions as recommended by Luxury-Legs

“We recommend washing your legwear products by hand in lukewarm water after each time they are worn using a mild and gently cleaning liquid detergent. Dry them flat in a well-ventilated area. If storing in a drawer between usages, roll the stockings gently into a ball. This will help maintain the shape of the hosiery and help keep them intact.”

I would also just like to add that I recommend wearing hosiery gloves to protect the fine fishnet knit whilst putting the tights on/trying to align the seams.

Colours and Price

The tights are available in black and red wine and cost £44.00 from Luxury-Legs.  They have a large selection of tights and bodies that are ‘to die for’ by Erica M.  Here are some of my other favourite products that I just need to own;

How I wore Erica M NYC’s I Heart U Tights

As the red wine colour is quite head turning, I just paired them with a very simple dress as the detail of the tights are so intricate that anything else could run the risk of looking too busy.

Verdict

After lusting after Erica M’s tights for sometime, I can honestly say that they lived up to my expectation of being as luxurious as they look.  The quality is impeccable and their designs are so innovative.  All of her products literally ooze confidence, sensuality, elegance and sophistication and luckily we’re able to purchase Erica M. products via Luxury Legs - who are the only stockists in the U.K!
