Passion black low-rise tights

Let me introduce you to the S033, a low-rise black-knit stocking that offers an alternative to the classic high-waisted styles in the PASSION range. Its low waistband sits below the waist rather than over it, creating a different silhouette under a cropped top. The crotch remains open, as with the rest of the S03x series, for greater ease during intimate moments together. I like this cut for outfits that reveal the stomach, where a classic high waistband would show and disrupt the line.

Soft-knit fabric in 80% polyamide and 20% elastane

This stocking is made from soft-knit fabric, woven from 80% polyamide and 20% elastane. The fabric provides good freedom of movement, with a slightly more textured feel than a classic smooth stocking, without going as far as the open-mesh effect of fishnet. It remains sufficiently opaque for extended wear while retaining a texture that can be noticed to the touch.

Low rise and open crotch: the S033 cut

The distinctive feature of this style is its low rise: the waistband sits lower on the hips than a traditional stocking, preventing marks beneath leggings or low-rise trousers. The open crotch complements this cut, creating a two-purpose piece that is both aesthetically appealing and practical for intimacy. It is a combination I often recommend to my customers who wear a lot of low-rise bottoms in everyday life.

Caring for the knit fabric

I recommend hand-washing it in lukewarm water to protect the knit, which is more delicate than solid fabric. Avoid wringing it out: gently press it between two towels, then leave it to dry flat. Machine washing would wear out the elastane faster than necessary.

Who it's for and who it's not for

This stocking is for you if you often wear low-rise styles (jeans, pencil skirts) and want a piece that does not extend above the waistband.

It is not the right choice if you are looking for high support up to the waist. In that case, I recommend looking at the other styles in the lingerie bottoms and stockings collection, which offer more traditional rises.

A friend’s advice — Check where your usual trouser waistband sits before choosing this low-rise style; it will help you avoid an unpleasant surprise if you intended to wear it visibly.
