Although the fashion world is a bit ambiguous about tights and stockings at the moment, one style of tights is making a comeback – fishnets. This ties into the general fashion vibe around at the moment for holes and mesh designs. If you have not worn fishnets for a while, there are a number of ways you can make them work, whatever your style.
Grunge
If you favour the grunge look, you will want black fishnet tights paired with oversized, statement-making clothing in dark colours. Complete the look with some chokers or chains.
With leather
Fishnet tights can look sexy. Consider wearing them with a tight leather dress, as short as you dare to show off your tights. Go the extra mile with those tights by opting for a bedazzled style of fishnets and wear them with platforms or high heels.
Back to the 80s
If wearing fishnet tights transports you back to the 1980s, embrace the look for a retro vibe. Wear a miniskirt and turtle neck paired with knee-high boots in a bright colour for a look that is both warm and stylish.
Formal-wear
Think fishnet tights can’t be worn to the office or a formal occasion? Think again. Wear a structured suit in a single colour scheme and avoid bold accessories for a look that manages to be both sophisticated and full of verve.
Be subtle
Black fishnet tights tend to be eye-catching, no matter what outfit you wear. But fishnets come in other colours, and a lighter pair provides the same sexy look but in a more subtle way. As well as being more subtle, this also means they will pair well with lighter coloured outfits without dominating them.
Add interest to any outfit
A pair of fishnet tights brings a new look to any outfit. So wear them with old favourites to bring an exciting new vibe to the outfit. Do not be afraid to experiment. Pair fishnets with different clothes to see how they look and if you love it, go for it.
