Leg Avenue Opaque Net Cut-Out Butterfly Applique Thigh Highs

White opaque, cut out at the net, with a butterfly applique sitting where the eye lands. These thigh highs mix a solid knit against open net panels, so the leg alternates between covered and see through, and the applique marks the spot.

White hosiery is the harder color to wear and by far the more striking one, so keep the rest of the outfit simple and let the leg lead. These work under a short black hem for maximum contrast, with a pale dress for a softer look, and as a costume base where the leg needs something delicate rather than dark. Roll them up from the ankle rather than pulling at the band. Hand wash in cool water on their own to keep the white clean, and lay flat to dry.

Applique detail usually gets glued onto plain hosiery and comes off in the wash. Worked into the cut-out net panels, the butterfly is part of the construction, so it survives as long as the pair does.
