Patterned pantyhose nails are picking up from where we left off in the noughties when we wore patterned polka dot tights underneath denim shorts or mini skirts. And, in the age of “aesthetics,” if you haven’t yet decided whether you’re a grungy girl, a cozy girl, or a preppy girl, the good news is the nail trend plays equally as well with all three.
We first spotted patterned pantyhose nails on the grid of our nail crush, Melanie, at Overglow Edit. Her design sees the thumb and pinky blacked out in an opaque black design with white polka dots, while the three middle nails feature a sexy-sheer lick of transparent black with a mix of polkas and Frenchies.
The curious thing is that they look as though they’d work just as well on edgy rocker types with stompy boots, heavy liner and torn tights as they would on a preppy Blair Waldorf type with a plaid mini skirt, velvet Alice in Wonderland headband, and patterned stockings.
Or, if you’re into minimalistic tailoring or cozy-girl autumn colors, the good news is that the soft shades of black offer up a neutral that goes with everything, but still offers an interesting twist.
