Leg Avenue Fishnet Lace Top Thigh High

Black fishnet with a three inch stretch lace band at the top. Three inches is the width that actually holds: wide enough to grip without digging, and wide enough to look like lingerie rather than a piece of elastic.

Wear these with a hem short enough to let the lace show, with lingerie on its own, or clipped to a garter belt if you want the hardware in the look. The stretch in the lace means the band sits flat rather than rolling, which is the detail that decides whether a thigh high stays comfortable through a long evening. Roll them up the leg from the toe rather than pulling from the band, then hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry.

Narrow lace tops are the standard because they cost less to make. A wider stretch band holds better and reads as a deliberate design line across the thigh, which is the whole reason to buy a lace top thigh high in the first place.
