Madonna is a fan of fishnets!
Forget about flashing your bare legs this summer, as it's all about covering up in a pair of sexy fishnets, if the latest celebrity trend is anything to go by.
Madonna, Rihanna, Girls Aloud and Lady GaGa are just some of the celebs who have been papped wearing fishnets recently, with Queen Madge even choosing to wear them for her latest ad campaign.
It's not just the celebs who are championing the look however, as everyone from 16-60 years old are choosing body sculpting fishnet hosiery.
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, women on average 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 was a winning combination, and when worn with the right outfit are very respectable, and rightly so we say!
The survey 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 small 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."
