Be Wicked! Lingerie Opaque Nylon Thigh-High Stockings – Purple

These purple opaque thigh highs from Be Wicked! give a rich violet leg with no sheer patches at the knee or shin. The colour stays even from the toe to the solid band at the thigh, so it looks like a deliberate part of the outfit instead of a passing accent.

Purple between playful and dramatic

Violet stockings can go in two directions. With black lace, a corset and dark lipstick they feel gothic, suited to a sorceress or villain. With green and silver they turn theatrical, more costume-party than boudoir. For a softer look, wear them with a grey or lilac slip and keep accessories minimal. They also add a jewel tone to an otherwise all-black lingerie set.

The band and the fit

Each stocking finishes in a plain solid band rather than lace, which keeps the top line tidy under a short skirt. The listing doesn't mention a silicone strip, so a garter belt is the safer choice if you will be moving around. The size is a single one size; Be Wicked's general guide for that is roughly US 6 to 12, with 34 to 40 inch hips.

Putting them on

Gather each stocking down to the toe, point your foot in and unroll it up the leg so the colour doesn't twist. Smooth the band flat before clipping or letting it sit.
