Fishnet stockings or tights are not the easiest of looks to pull off and
still look like a lady. To make fishnets appear more elegant, here are a
few suggestions.
Shave your legs. Hairs poking through the fishnet cavities are not an
elegant fashion statement. An alternative is to wear pantyhose under the
fishnets for a smooth look at a pinch.
Wear fishnets only if you like them, there is little point forcing yourself to wear a fashion item you can't
stand, as you simply won't carry it off while worrying about it.
Wear the right clothing, fishnets paired with a mini
and high heels are suggestive of quite the opposite of ladylike
clothing. Instead, wear your fishnets with a skirt that sits just above
the knee. A skirt that is longer is also fine.
Keep the rest of your clothing simple, Avoid patterns or prints that compete with the fishnets and let the fishnets be the interesting fashion statement only. Wear tailored shirts, bespoke jackets, and neat clothing as a whole. Keep the makeup toned right down, and the accessories and jewelry likewise. Pearls work well as elegant understatement jewelry.
Consider wearing fishnets that have finer mesh, These will appear less "racy" and more toned down than wider meshed fishnets. The smaller the diamond shapes, the better the look and the easier it is to suggest sophistication.
Wear appropriately colored fishnets, Stick with black, brown, or nude for day wear giving more elegant looks and finer sexy lines.
Wear closed toe shoes, avoid anything open-toed as it looks messy. Boots are also a fine
option, indeed a knee-length dress or skirt with knee-high boots and a
touch of fishnet in between can be very ladylike provided the clothing
is good quality.
Wear solid tights underneath fishnets.
Choose an interesting color for the tights, and make it bright for
extreme contrast (providing it matches the rest of your outfit). For day
wear, choose office-acceptable colors like navy blue and dark green;
for the evening, be more daring, especially when coupling the tights and
fishnet combination with the little black dress.
Leg warmers or long socks can also be placed over fishnets to cover up the extent of the stockings or tights.
