Leg Avenue Seamless Opaque Cut-Out Footless Bodystocking

Pink, opaque and footless. The footless part is the practical genius of this cut: the leg finishes at the ankle, which means your own shoes finish the outfit rather than a reinforced hosiery toe getting in the way of an open sandal or a strappy heel.

Pink opaque is a daytime-capable color, so this works under a denim jacket and a short for a festival as readily as it works as lingerie. The cut outs give the solid fabric its interest, so wear it where they can be seen rather than under a coat. Step into it and lift it by the body, not the shoulders. Hand wash in cool water, lay flat to dry, and wash it separately the first time since pink dyes tend to release a little.

A footless bodystocking is the most versatile piece in this category because it does not commit you to a shoe. Add an opaque knit rather than net and it becomes something you can genuinely wear out.
