Fishnet tights have long been a staple of bold and edgy fashion, but in recent years, they’ve made a comeback. In the UK, where street style meets vintage revival, there are plenty of creative ways to wear fishnet tights, whether you’re heading out on the town or just adding personality to your outfits.
Wear them under ripped jeans
One of the most popular ways to wear fishnet tights right now is under distressed or ripped jeans. The peek of the fishnets through the rips adds a grungy, stylish edge without being over-the-top. Pair these with a leather jacket and chunky boots for an effortless and stylish rock chick look.
You can wear them with shorts and boots
During spring or even early autumn in the UK, combine fishnets with denim or tailored shorts and ankle boots. It’s a great outfit that adds personality. Add an oversized blazer or a graphic tee to keep it balanced and streetwise.
Wear beneath a skirt or dress
Fishnet tights under a midi or mini skirt can turn a classic outfit into something bold and contemporary. Choose tights with a more sophisticated look, or go big and bold for a night out on the town. A-line skirts or shift dresses work particularly well.
Layered over colourful tights
For the fashion brave, layering fishnets over coloured or patterned tights creates a standout visual effect. Try red or neon beneath black fishnets to add a quirky twist to your outfit. They are perfect for festivals or fashion events.
You can find a range of fishnet tights here to go with your outfit. Jessica Kistermann put on a racy display at a party during the Cannes Film Festival.
Try with loungewear
Yes, even joggers can be styled up. Some trendsetters wear fishnet tights underneath ripped or cropped joggers, combined with trainers and a hoodie. It’s totally street-style approved and looks really chic.
The key to pulling off stunning fishnets is confidence and balance. If the tights are making a statement, let the rest of the outfit support rather than compete.
