Here are some styles and ways of wearing stockings & hoisery that i find interesting and a little different to the way mainstream fashion is wearing their stockings, tights, hoisery & socks.

Key elements of the trend:
Legwear in this trend usually features super-fine mesh or sheer panels/patches to create a modern look.
Sometimes the legwear is not always tight but is loose to create a worn and casual feel to the look
The trend also sees the use of metallics and shiny satins to create a futuristic look. This along with geometic shapes gives a sense of 60's moon race fever.
The use of extremely sheer panels in a very low-denier can be used to create faux lace effects.

I really like the paneling, although I'm not sure if I would wear it myself.. a cool trend though.
