Leg Avenue Heart Net Thigh Highs

Red hosiery is a decision, and this pair makes it for you. The heart motif runs through the net in a shade that has no interest in blending into anything, which is exactly why it works with black, with white, and with almost nothing.

Red thigh highs are the easiest way to build a look around a single color: a black slip dress and these, or a white shirt and these, and the outfit is finished. They are a natural for Valentine's and for any costume that wants a strong leg line, and they photograph better than most hosiery because the color holds under warm light. Wash them separately the first time or two, since strong dyes can run. Hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry.

Red is the color most hosiery ranges skip because it is harder to get right. A saturated red heart net is a genuinely different piece from the black version, not a color swap.
