Be Wicked! Can't Back Down Pantyhose – Hot Pink

Hot pink and a wide, open net make the Be Wicked! Can't Back Down pantyhose the loudest thing in most outfits. These fishnet pantyhose come in the regular one size, and the oversized diamonds leave plenty of leg showing between the strands, so the colour reads from across a room instead of as a faint tint.

Styling hot pink fishnets

Over bare skin the pink looks bright and playful. Under black shorts, a leather-look skirt or a black bodysuit it turns sharper and more punk. With white it goes sweet, and head-to-toe pink leans into a doll look for a bachelorette night. The pattern also suits an 80s aerobics costume, worn over a leotard with leg warmers. Keep the rest of the outfit simple, because the net is already doing a lot.

Fit and stretch

The yarn is 92% nylon and 8% spandex, so the net opens out over hips and thighs. Be Wicked!'s general size chart puts its one size at roughly US 6 to 12, with hips of 34 to 40 inches (85.5 to 101.5 cm), and the brand calls that a guide only. For more room through the seat, the Queen version in the same hot pink is charted at about US 18 to 24. There's a gap between the two charts, so if you fall in it, compare your hip measurement with both before choosing.

Getting fishnet pantyhose on without snags

Wide-mesh hosiery catches on rings, bracelets and long nails. Take jewellery off, gather each leg down to the toe, and work the net up a little at a time rather than hauling from the waist. Once they're on, line the diamonds up down the front of each leg so the pattern looks even.
