Yes, Fishnets Are Classy
I was in a nice restaurant over the weekend when a couple walked in where the woman was wearing full-body fishnets covered by a tank top and short-shorts. A hush fell over the restaurant for a moment before everyone just got back to talking about those things people often discuss in restaurants (e.g. new discoveries in astrophysics, advances in pet acupuncture, etc.).
It was a hot day outside, so really, what’s wrong with the woman wearing what made her comfortable? I did some quick research and found that little is really known about the origins of fishnet stockings. According to this article on This Tailored Life, fishnets are apparently now just normalized as fashion (as in, those classy fashion designers regularly use them in their new ideas). Also, fishnets really hit it big with the rise of the flappers in the 1920’s which, as we all know, is when women really started showing their independence (i.e. they became more classy by my definition).
