Leg Avenue Spandex Fishnet Pantyhose

The pair everyone should own, in four colors. Classic spandex fishnet, full length, in Black, Blue, Nude and Red, which covers the everyday version, the statement version and the two that nobody expects to find in stock.

Black is the default and the most useful. Nude fishnet is the quiet one, giving texture without color. Blue and Red are the pairs you buy for a specific outfit and then wear far more than you planned. All four work under a short hem, with shorts, or with a boot for the daytime version. Roll them up the leg from the toe rather than dragging them from the waistband, hand wash in cool water, and lay them flat to dry. Rings off first.

Spandex rather than plain nylon is the difference that matters here. It gives the net real recovery, so the diamonds stay even and the pair does not sag at the knee halfway through the evening.
