A couple of the secretaries at my work are wearing that look just now. It's not trashy until it's out of fashion. :)

"Fishnet tights can verge on tarty, with the exception of micro-fishnets, which are barely visible unless up close. "

 

my fiance is not wearing micro-fishnets...

Her boots come up to her knees and her skirt reaches to her knees. So people can't even see them very much. I wouldn't be concerned. Let her dress how she wants.

Alot of people still were fishnets... They are kindof out going out of style but if that is what she wears then that's what she wears...

 

Why don't you like the fact she wears fishnets??? Do you think it is too risque for work or something?

Well i just dont want ppl to look at her and think that is bit tarty...if its normal for women to wear it then cool...but if it is a tarty look then i rather she not...

My perspective is that unless you are asked for your input by her, what people think when they look at her is between her and them. It's better for you to focus on what you think yourself. You know her better than anyone: Is she truly a tart? Is she sexy? Do you respect her to make good choices in life? Do you like to be with her and enjoy her company?

 

The fact is you have no idea what people think when they look at her. It's a hard habit to break to assume that people are being critical of her and then to go ahead and criticize her yourself on their behalf.

Do you live in the UK? As your fiance wears them - eg with kneelength boots and a reasonably long skirt...yes, it's certainly a look I've seen quite a few people wear. Just a hint of fishnet in the way that hints of fishnet had spells of popularity back in the 80s. For the last few years, there's been a sense of the fashion industry trying to push 80s stuff at us. They'll win in the end....

 

I bet come summertime you'll find yourself contemplating whether it's time to give in and buy a t-shirt with fishnet type mesh covering the arms.

yup, i in the uk!

 

My gf would def not be happy me wearing a fishnet top! lol!

 

Are you saying the proper fishnets are in fashion or the micros?

What difference does it make whether they are in fashion? Leo, you aren't impressing me as the kind of guy who thinks and decides things for himself. Use your own eyes and your own judgment and what you know about her as a person.

 

This is a much bigger question than fishnets, to me. It's about being sure of yourself and having respect for her.

is this fashion. If it is then i will accept it...but if it isn't i wont.

 

Huh? :confused: What if the fashion was topless & a thong? Ever been to a beach in Brazil? Yeah OK, the beach & the office are very different, but who are you to 'accept' what she should & shouldn't wear?

 

What are you going to tell her? 'I don't want to see you anymore 'cause you're wearing fish-nets and they are sooooo last year!'

 

This is a much bigger question than fishnets, to me. It's about being sure of yourself and having respect for her.

Amen to that.

Let me put something to you...

 

there are times i know and other people go through. Is questioning whethere your feelings are right or wrong or should you adjust. At the moment i feel my fiance is a sexy girl...but when she wears fishnets i think its a bit tarty.

Now is this right or wrong?

 

i will go on and give u a different example...

 

my friend she is going out with a guy who doesnt let her have guy friends. She meets me secretly time to time. I know this is wrong and that is being pure control freak...He needs to adjust....

 

Get what i mean?

 

(By the way thanks for your comments)

Here's the right answer:

 

Ask her opinion. Listen while she tells you. Tell her what you think. Trust her judgment and leave it at that.

 

There's a difference between how she dresses and who she really is. Your focus should be on who she really is and what she means to you.

 

So you should adjust.

Thanks for your replies...will probably chat to her!

 

If any one else has any other opinions be great to hear them...

I guess if wearing underwear to work is fashionable, why not fishnets. I think they are flirtacious and i wouldn't find it a good idea to wear to a professional job (unless the job is call girl or stripper)..

I live in the UK and I wear that sort of thing - If you have an overall tarty look then it does look tarty but I wear them with a suit and long boots, like your g/f

 

If my b/f told me I looked tarty in it I would probably stop wearing it as I hate the tarty look. Everyone I have asked has said they look nice not tarty!

Posted

another uk gal here.

 

your g/f is wearing a suit and since it's winter she's also wearing tights. nice tights, by the sound of it.

 

tarty is much more to do with the overall look than an individual piece. if she's perfecting the stripper look, that's one thing. but the boots/suit thing sounds great to me.
