Fishnets have come a long way since the ’90s, taking on new forms such as tops and shoes. Maybe the rebellious accessory has crossed your mind before, but you haven’t figured out how to wear them without feeling tacky. Well, here are 14 inventive ways to incorporate fishnets into your go-to outfits and give your wardrobe a sassy edge.

 

Wide Fishnet Tights

 

 

One of the biggest trends for fall will be wearing fishnet tights under distressed denim. Grab your favorite pair of ripped jeans and let some oversize fishnet tights peek through the holes, like Princess Polly and Culture With Coco did. Finish the look with sleek booties or heels for the perfect balance between refined and edgy.

Micro Fishnet Tights

 

 

For a more subtle look, try fishnet tights with smaller holes. These look great under a denim or leather miniskirt with thigh high boots. Or check out how Amber from Every Once in a Style paired her fishnet tights with a long sleeve sweater and booties.

Embroidered Fishnet Top

 

 

The sweet roses embroidered on this tee balance the toughness of the fishnet. Wear it over a bandeau and bodycon skirt or tuck it into some distressed denim. It’d also give overalls a cool twist.

Nude Rhinestone Fishnets

 

 

These fishnets remind us of the sparkling tights Olympic ice skaters wear. Try them with a neutral dress and pumps to really draw attention to your glittery legs. We also adore how these tights can spice up plain denim shorts.
