Leg Avenue Cuban Foot Pantyhose - 1x-2x

The Cuban foot is a piece of hosiery history: a reinforced, squared-off foot detail that vintage stockings used long before anyone thought of it as a style. Here it runs on a black and nude pantyhose in 1X/2X, so the reference sits right at the ankle where a shoe will show it.

These are the pair for a retro or pin-up look, and they read especially well with an open-back shoe or a mule where the foot detail is visible. Wear them under a pencil skirt, a slip dress, or a vintage cut costume, and keep the shoe simple so the ankle does the work. Gather them at the toe and roll them up the leg rather than pulling from the waistband, then hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry.

Almost all modern hosiery has a plain invisible toe, which is fine and forgettable. The Cuban foot is the detail that tells anyone paying attention that the outfit was assembled on purpose.
