Leg Avenue Polka Dot Fishnet Suspender Hose with Lace Top and Cuban Heel

Three vintage details on one pair. Polka dots scattered through a fishnet knit, a lace top band at the thigh, and a Cuban heel squared off at the back of the foot. This is hosiery built from the old catalogues rather than from a costume shelf.

Suspender hose is designed to clip to a garter belt, so keep one nearby and the look assembles itself. Wear them with an open toe or slingback heel so the Cuban heel is actually visible, and with a pencil skirt or a slip dress for the full period effect. Check the heel block is sitting square before you leave. Roll them up from the toe, hand wash in cool water, and lay flat to dry.

Dotted hosiery is common and usually printed. Getting dots knit into a fishnet with a lace top and a proper Cuban heel is a genuinely retro build, and it is what makes these read as vintage rather than as fancy dress.
