High Rise 7/8 Legging in Takara Shine

As always seems to be the case with Takara these are buttery soft and very comfortable. The Artisinal Red color is a gorgeous shade and is sort of a darker cherry red type color. The shine is gorgeous and will look amazing on your legs while feeling comfortable all day long. If you're typically between sizes I'd suggest sizing down as there is plenty of stretch but the larger sizes could result in bunching/gathering. Otherwise I'd call these true to size. As usual, Takara delivers.

In the flesh, the hue of Artisanal Red is actually shifted a smidge towards the orange family. C38 always gets their hues and sheens correct in their marketing material (online or print), and there are over a dozen different Shines in my closet to attest to that--but not with this color. I had to go back and verify that I received the correct color from my order. Many will still like this new color. YMMV

If you compare different pictures for Artisanal Red from the website to the recent printed mailer for this color, you will notice that the hues all differ. And not the differences in lighting kind of discrepancy. They almost appear to be a mixup. The only ones that are accurate have just that slight hint of orange in them. The online marketing team was out to lunch on this one...
