Outfit ideas with fishnet tights

Fishnet tights are bang on trend this season. With plenty of patterns to opt for – from the tiny, subtle, and sophisticated to bright, big, and bold – fishnet tights are super-versatile and can turn a bland outfit into a real fashion statement. It can be tricky to know how best to style your fishnets for the biggest impact, so here is our handy guide to inspire your outfit ideas.

Go grunge

Fishnet tights are well-known for their edgy appeal. With a dark, grungy style taking centre stage this season, why not pair your fishnet tights with dark colours, Dr Martens, and oversized statement jewellery? Celebrities have been spotted teaming their fishnets with cool band T-shirts and denim skirts, adding chains and chokers for a 90s grunge-style look.

Casual and cosy

Fishnets are not just for nights out; in addition, you can create a cosy, casual look with an edge by pairing your fishnet tights with a midi skirt and cute, oversized knitwear. You could choose a denim-style skirt with a longer hemline or opt for a floatier maxi-style skirt. Fishnet tights with smaller patterns, which are available from companies such as bettertights.com/collections/fishnet-tight, will add a subtle pop to your outfit; alternatively, if you feel like making a statement, go for tights with a wider net pattern.

Luxurious leather

If you are headed for a night out on the town, a leather outfit is bang on trend this season. A thigh-skimming leather skirt or dress paired with a statement pair of fishnet tights will add a touch of intrigue and make your outfit stand out in the crowd. You can add a chunky pair of heels or traditional leather thigh-high boots for extra style points.

Back to the 80s

Bright colours, big hair, and patterns – go back to the 80s with brightly coloured fishnets paired with colourful boots, a turtleneck, and a mini skirt. You can layer up a little for those colder days or swap the sweatshirt for a band T-shirt or 80s-style waistcoat for a unique summer style.
