Photo comparison of Oroblu and Levante micronets

Some of you may remember that I had said the Oroblu micronets were not micro enough for the elementary education work environment. I was in search of something with a smaller net. I found some by Levante; here is the comparison of the two for others in search of the perfect micronet:

The Levantes came from My Tights: http://www.mytights.com/mytights/1393.html and these are Mediums, which is their smallest size. They fit me fine, and I'm on the smaller side.

The Levantes actually have an extremely fine mesh within the holes in the net -- perfect for work. I'll save the edgier Oroblus for my leisure time...

It looks very nice and not very expensive either.

Ooooh! Very nice. I might have to give those a bash too.

Oooh, I'm liking those Levantes (and the price too). Let us know how they wear!

Yesterday was the first day chilly enough to wear tights at all, so I have only worn the Levantes once. I did not have any of those unfortunate "the first time I put them on they ripped" incidents, but will keep you posted about wear! I suspect these will become my go-to tights this year.

Thanks for posting pics April, very helpful! Quick Question for you - are the Levante more of a stretch Spanx type material or are they the traditional (almost non-elastic) fishnet type?

JG, they are very stretchy, not at all like string.

April, thanks so much for letting us know how they look & feel! Since the original thread where you and I were looking at these microfishnets, I've been considering off and on whether I wanted to try a pair out. I love the Oroblus, but I only feel comfortable wearing the nude color to work. The Levantes look like they would be perfectly work-appropriate, so I think I'll give them a try.

Edited: Also, it looks like Alex Blake is the US equivalent of My Tights where you can order the fishnets. Might be cheaper for shipping.
