Leg Avenue Ying Yang Fishnet Thigh Highs

The yin yang is one of the few symbols that still reads instantly at a distance, and knitting it into a fishnet thigh high is a genuinely good idea. The motif repeats up the leg rather than sitting as a single badge, so the pattern carries the whole thigh.

These have a clear nineties register, so wear them with a slip dress and a chunky boot, with denim cutoffs, or as part of a festival build. They stop at the thigh, so either match the hem or clip them to a garter belt. Roll each one up from the toe rather than dragging at the band, hand wash in cool water, and lay them flat to dry. Rings off before they go on, as with any fishnet.

Symbol-print hosiery goes wrong when the circle distorts into an oval under stretch. Knitting the yin yang into the net structure keeps it round on the leg, which is the difference between a clean graphic and a smudge.
