Play with the color of your fishnets! I really like nude fishnets, especially with a blush-toned skirt or dress. For black fishnets, you can create a street-style look by wearing them with high-waisted, ripped denim shorts.

Question

Would the large hole fishnets work with shorts, or would it be too slutty?

Community Answer

This is a personal preference question. I personally don't think it's a problem, but if you feel too uncomfortable or self-conscious, then it probably isn't a good idea.

Question

How do I wear fishnets to a date without looking trashy and making the guy expect something from me? The date is in the middle of the winter.

HeatherKnowsHow

Community Answer

Try wearing fishnet stockings under ripped jeans so you can see the stockings through the holes. This is also a good idea for winter, as it is warmer.

Do these go with leather skirts?

Yes, they do. Leather skirts are a common base garment worn with fishnets. They make a fantastic combination.

Question

Are they hard to put on?

Lilylovers

Top Answerer

They can be, because you need to be sure to not rip the stockings. Like anything, it gets easier with practice.

Which is better? Fishnets with heels or fishnets with ankle-length boots? For an occasion.

Heels would be better for a more formal occasion and ankle-length boots for casual. But wear whichever you enjoy more.

Question

So, I got some black backseam diamond fishnets and I'd like to wear them with some boots to a club, but I'm worried about blisters. Would low, anklet or no-show socks be a goot choice?

Community Answer

Any of those socks would work well, as long as they don't show over your boots (unless that's the look you're going for).
