Symbol of sensuality and blatant femininity, the fishnet tights are back into the pole position of the season’s hottest trend.
Born as a typical burlesque item, the fishnet tights were then cleared from the runways that, without ifs and buts, have decided to bring them to the fore mixing them with really aggressive rock looks!
To wear the fishnet tights without being vulgar and (alas) ridiculous, you have to follow some strict rules that can not be completely waived.
Ph. Federica Ariemma
RULE n°1
Wear the fishnet tights only if you have slim and without blemishes legs. This rule absolutely does not want to discriminate the curvy women, but aims to avoid the ugly “sausage-effect”.
Curvy women, instead, can wear fishnet tights under pants, so that they can glimpse on the ankle, for a very sensual peek-a-boo effect!
RULE n°2
Do not match the fishnet tights to mini dress + heels. Let this look began to lap dancers and eccentric pop stars 😉 Always remember that this kind of tight is a borderline item that oscillates between a sensual elegance and a blatant vulgarity.
Rather, you can opt for a midi dress or a soft cut skirt and a pair of low heeled booties!
-to play down the fishnet tights, wear them with knitted sweater, culotte pants and sneakers-.
RULE n°3
Micro or macro? The answer is easy! Remember that more the fishnet tight is wide, more the heel must be low. The macro fishnet tights, in fact, might be excessive if worn with high shoes, so you can match them to a pair of biker booties for a truly seductive rock result!
So, have I convinced you to immediately buy a pair of fishnet tights ? I certainly hope so, because this is a very trendy must have! 🙂
