Leg Avenue Illusion Lace Top Net Striped Tights

Stripes up the leg, lace at the top, and a net weave doing the illusion trick in between. These tights are built so the striped panels and the lace band read as separate garments at a glance, which is a lot of visual interest for one pull on piece.

Wear them under a short hem so the illusion actually shows, since the whole design argument happens above the knee. They pair well with a plain black dress that needs an idea, and with boots for a night where the leg is the outfit. Roll them up the leg rather than dragging them from the waistband, which is the difference between a pair that lasts a season and one that ladders on the first wear. Hand wash in cool water and dry flat.

Plain net tights give you one texture. This pair gives you three, stripe, net and lace, in one piece of hosiery, so there is nothing else to coordinate.
