Leg Avenue Nylon Fishnet Stocking

Pink fishnet is a mood rather than a basic. Knit in nylon and cut as a stocking, this pair takes the most recognizable pattern in hosiery and puts it in a color that has no intention of being background.

Build around it rather than against it: black, white or denim above, and let the leg carry the color. They work for a costume, a themed party, a photo set, or a night that needs one bright decision. Clip them to a garter belt or wear them under a hem that covers the top. Roll them up from the ankle rather than dragging from the band, and hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry.

Pink fishnet usually turns up as a cheap costume accessory that ladders on the first wear. A proper nylon knit holds its grid, which means this pair survives the night it was bought for and several after it.
