Leg Avenue Bloom Net Suspender Tights

Suspender tights are the shortcut everyone should know about: the garter look built directly into the tight, so there is no separate belt to buy, clip, or straighten. This pair runs the floral bloom net pattern through the leg, so the shortcut is also the prettier option.

Wear them under a hem short enough to show the suspender detail, since that is the whole point of the style. They work under a costume when you want the garter look without a second piece, and they are far more comfortable for a long night because everything hangs from the waistband instead of pulling at the thigh. Roll them up the leg rather than dragging them from the waist, which is the difference between a pair that lasts a season and one that ladders on the first wear. Hand wash cool, lay flat to dry.

Cheap suspender tights print the line on and hope. Here the suspender detail is knitted into the structure along with the bloom pattern, so it holds up at close range.
