Fishnets are still on the full run. As far as they are considered sexy and respectable, they’ll be sold in retail stores.
Our celebs are the first to show us the trends. And now we see them wearing the fishnets.
Why not?
Women believe that fishnets can ‘change your leg shape’ making legs appear more toned and slimmer, they can ‘change a women’s mood’; while 71 per cent of 35-plus women said they ‘make them feel younger’.
In a new survey by premium hosiery design brand Jonathan Aston, on average women choose to wear fishnet stockings to accentuate their sex appeal, and make their legs look better.
Despite being career minded, a third of the 1,000 women surveyed confessed that fishnets and smart black shoes were the winning comb, and when worn with right outfits are very appropriate so we say!
The research also revealed that 18 per cent of women thought that fishnets gave them a way to express their personalities at work, while a measly 8 per cent commented that fishnets shouldn’t be worn in the work place.
Over half of the women surveyed said that only mesh stockings with tiny holes should be worn to a wedding, although 63 per cent said they were ‘perfectly acceptable’ attire for a funeral.
According to those questioned, wearing fishnets over 40 years of age is not a sign of a women’s mid-life crisis, but a statement of independence and confidence.
Sarah-Jane Hingorani, Hosiery Designer for Jonathan Aston commented:
“Fishnets can make a real statement and are versatile; they can be irreverent and fun and also look professional and smart. You should feel confident and wear fishnets whether you are sixteen or sixty.”
She added:
“Younger girls love bright colours, and will wear styles with a larger mesh, while older wearers prefer a finer mesh, and tend to choose black and nude tones.”
But, you know what? I do trust Madonna, Rihanna, Girls Aloud and Lady GaGa, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton who wear fishnets as a modern trend.
