It is not easy to put on fishnet stockings and look like a classy woman. To be elegant with this type of garment, follow these tips.
Steps
Step 1. Wear fishnets only if you really like them
There is no point in making an effort to wear something you can't stand or feel uncomfortable with.
Step 2. Wear the right clothes
Fishnet stockings paired with a miniskirt and high heels are not exactly the height of elegance. Try a knee-length or slightly longer skirt instead.
You can also try wearing them under your pants to go to the office, just to give that veiled touch of sensuality to your suit
Step 3. Choose simple clothes
Avoid patterns or prints that distract attention from the socks, which must be the highlight of the outfit. Wear a pencil skirt, jacket, and other sober clothing. Don't go overboard with your makeup, jewelry, and other accessories. For example pearls are perfect to make you look more chic.
Use fishnet tights to make serious and antiquated garments appear more modern and elegant
Step 4. Put on some small-knit socks
They will look less bold and vulgar. In fact, the smaller the shirts, the easier it will be to look sophisticated.
Step 5. Wear them in the right color
Go for black, brown or nude for the day.
Step 6. Choose closed shoes
Avoid sandals and open-toes as the look will only look more sloppy. You can also opt for boots: in fact, a dress or a knee-length skirt with high boots and fishnet stockings are a great combination of sexy and elegant at the same time, as long as the clothes are of good quality.
Step 7. Put on some solid colored socks underneath your fishnet socks
Choose a bright color to create a contrast (always making sure to match it with the rest of the clothes). During the day you should focus on more sober colors, such as navy blue or dark green, while in the evening you could be more daring by combining fishnet stockings with bright colors, especially if you are wearing a black dress.
Advice
- Shave before putting on your socks. The hairs that emerge from the shirts are certainly not elegant. Alternatively, you could wear nude opaque tights underneath the fishnet ones.
- If you are thinking of a carnival costume, you are in the wrong article! Carnival and elegance are certainly not synonymous, at least most of the time!
- You can wear leg warmers and Parisian over the socks.
- If the stockings are too visible with the dress or skirt you are wearing, avoid the fishnet ones.
Warnings
- Extra large mesh fishnet stockings should never be worn during the day. Reserve them for club nights or to create a punk look.
- Many people, of both sexes, associate fishnets with vulgarity. However, fashion experts say it is possible to wear them without attracting malicious glances. It all depends on your style and preferences. However, you may need to respond in kind if someone criticizes you!
