How To Style: Fishnet Tights

leopardcouture 26 Comments

Happy Wednesday lovelies! Today I wanted to share some of my tips and tricks on how to style fishnet tights. I’ll be honest, when I first saw this trend blow up I was like…“Wait..it’s socially acceptable to wear my Halloween costume stockings now?!”. The trend grew on me quickly, and soon I couldn’t wait to get my hands on a pair (or 5). Just kidding, I have a pair of tights and socks and trust me you need both styles. Tights are great for when you want them peaking through the holes of your ripped jeans and/or above the waistband. If you want them just showing at your ankles then socks are a must! (Plus you don’t have to take them off when you pee haha).

To start, you need to decide how big you want the holes and that’s totally personal preference. I opted for these larger sized ones from F21 and I am in love with them! My outfit is fairly simple, as in I could totally wear it without the tights. That’s the thing..you don’t need a super crazy outfit to make the fishnets work. They’re easier to style than you think. Since the fishnet trend is pretty bad-ass, I prefer styling it with edgier pieces. Hence why I grabbed my leather jacket and distressed acid wash jeans. This look works because I stuck to neutrals, while adding a pop of grunge with my jeans and cut out booties.

Here are a few Do’s and Don’ts to keep in mind:

DO: 

1. Start with a black pair- they are easiest to style
2. Keep the rest of your outfit simple. Let the tights be the focus
3. Style them with closed-toe shoes

DON’T: 

1. Go with a super tight and short skirt/ dress.. it may look a tad trashy if you know what I mean (*halloween costume flashback anyone?)
2. Style them with: loud animal/floral prints..it will clash
3. Not shave when wearing these..trust me on this one haha

Here are 5 other ways you can style your fishnets:

  1. CASUAL: Oversized t-shirt | ripped bf jeans | sneakers
  2. CITY CHIC: Turtleneck | culotte pants | ankle booties
  3. CLASSIC: Button-down top | cropped slacks/ cigarette pants | oxfords
  4. COMFY: Oversized knit sweater dress | motorcycle boots
  5. SEXY: Loose crop top | high waisted denim | thigh high boots (to achieve the peekaboo look)

  9. fishnet tights have always made me a little nervous, but these look amazing with the distressed denim and those boots. I love the rock-chick vibe and I would never have thought to wear fishnets like this but I am loving how you’ve styled this look!!
