Fishnets, colored tights, white stockings and more. Got questions about how to wear tights, pantyhose and stockings? Join the discussion on YouTube and see the ultimate guide here.
In this week’s video I am sharing the do’s and don’ts on how to wear pantyhose and stockings. Check it out.
Although every rule has its exceptions. I have a 40’s retro feel MaryJane peeptoe sling that rocks with fishnets, or with black tights and a flippy skirt… Oh, and I am 51!
No doubt! Sometimes things just work…nobody can figure out why, but they do. Thanks for your comment!
I wear a skirt, and tights or color/patterned stockings almost daily in the winter. I wear some colors (dark, like olive or burgundy) and some small patterns. Fishnets (small net) in a color besides black is a look I really like. I have brown and nude. If I wear fishnets, I tend to wear a thicker and/or shorter heel so it doesn’t feel too “sexed up”. I’ve also got fishnet kneehighs that I wear with pants. I sometimes wear stockings in the winter/fall, but I’m very careful about color and quality. Donna Karan makes nice ones that aren’t that noticeable. My clothes tend to be very simple, so this is a great way to add interest to my look.
Regardless of my outfit, which tends toward conservative and classical pieces [unless they’re for competitive ballroom dancing], I always feel incomplete and unfinished if I am not wearing nude hose, black tights or fishnets.
I love fishnets! Honestly, I think it is often a generational thing and what we grew up doing. If you don’t feel finished in hose then, by all means, wear and enjoy!
