Fa.la.la.la.la. and Fishnets

Fishnets.  So many people associate this type of nylon with hookers and Halloween, but fishnets (depending on the type) can be an elegant addition to your holiday attire.  

When purchasing fishnets, I prefer a tightly meshed nylon.  I am not a fan of thigh highs, diamond-net or wide mesh fishnets, as I think the smaller loop is a bit more classic.  Also, (and I feel I shouldn't have to say this),  I would not wear white or red fishnets unless I am attending a costume party as a "naughty nurse" or perhaps "naughty pirate"???    I don't know...nuff' said there.

I found a website that offers fishnets in 51 different colors, and I highly recommend you check it out.  I ordered them in pale gray and brown at $9 per pair.  I'll keep you posted as to the quality and comfort.  If I like them, I will probably order a few more shades (steering clear of yellow, orange, etc., and leaning more towards the neutrals...again, do I need to say that??).  


Sometimes, it's the accessory that makes the outfit.  You can choose a normal, run-of-the-mill pair of nude nylons, or you can accentuate your legs by adding a bit of texture and style to your hosiery.  You make the call.
