Fishnet stocking is any stocking which has a mesh like structure on the entire length of the stocking. The fashion gurus suggest that any mesh which is bigger than 1/16th of an inch on wearing is inappropriate for formal office wear and should be reserved for pub outings or night outs with friends. Fish net stockings come in a wide variety of colours – black, nude, and red being the most popular. Pay attention to the skirt length, if it is any higher than knee length, fish nets could end up looking trashy.
