Fishnets were a trend of the 90s, and now they are back and better than ever. The twist on fishnets in 2017: there is not one set “look” that fishnets need to be worn with, and various colors of the tights can achieve this look as well.
Various levels of coverage for the fishnets: -Just peeking through at the ankles of some jeans and booties -Seen down the legs through some aggressively ripped jeans -Worn with shorts -Worn with a skirt -Worn with a dress -Shown above the jean (or whatever pant you choose) waist-line with a crop top The 90s version of this trend had a more grunge and street style aesthetic to them. But now, fishnets can be chic.

Instead of going with the normal black coloring, I found these light blue fishnets at Forever 21. They also have a much larger width to them in comparison to the original look. (It was so hard to get them on carefully without sticking a toe in the wrong spot and ripping them!) Paired with them are some Forever 21 light wash distressed jeans, a Forever 21 crop top, and some Sam Edelman booties. My favorite part about this look was having the fishnets pop out at the ankles. This is a subtle detail that adds a lot to the ensemble! Although this outfit in particular is a little aggressive for a typical school day (and the 25 degree weather), I wanted to emphasize the look of the fishnets when they are worn high-waisted. The best part about this trend? Mix and Match! There are endless different ways to spice up your look with some fun tights. The best part? They are cheap! At Marshall’s I found some tights for $2.00 in the clearance bin. Look around at various retailers, ask a friend for theirs, but definitely add some fishnets to your wardrobe this spring.
