Leg Avenue Seamless Opaque Cut-Out Footless Tights

Tights that stop at the ankle and cut outs that stop them being plain. This is the leg-only version of the idea: opaque black, seamless through the leg and body, footless at the bottom, with cut out detailing where a plain tight would have nothing at all.

Footless tights are the easiest piece of hosiery to style because they work with every shoe in the closet, including open ones. Wear them under a short hem so the cut outs read, or under a longer skirt where only the calf shows. They also layer under shorts for the sportier version. Roll them up from the ankle rather than dragging them at the waistband, hand wash in cool water, and lay flat to dry rather than hanging them.

Most cut out hosiery uses net, where the openings barely register. On an opaque seamless knit every cut out has a hard edge against solid fabric, which is what makes the detail visible from across a room.
