Leg Avenue Stay Up Lace Micro Net Thigh Highs

Micro net in a warm cinnamon brown, which is a color combination almost nobody makes. The net is fine enough to read as texture rather than as fishnet, and the warm brown means it works with skin tones that a black net would cut hard against.

This is the everyday pair rather than the occasion one: under a work dress, under a midi skirt with a boot, or with a short hem where the lace band is meant to show. The lace top has a silicone stay up backing, so it holds without a belt on clean dry skin. Roll each stocking up the leg from the toe rather than pulling on the band, hand wash in cool water, and lay them flat to dry.

Warm neutrals in patterned hosiery are consistently the hardest thing to buy, because most ranges run black, nude and stop. A micro net in cinnamon is a genuinely useful thing to have found.
