fishnets

Open-weave leg coverings

Fishnets are stockings or tights made with an open, diamond-shaped mesh pattern resembling a fishing net.

The term usually refers to the hosiery itself rather than actual nets for catching fish: She wore fishnets with her punk outfit.

The style suggests boldness or edge, common in rock, goth, and burlesque fashion.
