It tones down the Lili St Cyr-nish of the fishnets, yet still allows the texture to be a focal point. 2. fall/winter only 3. dress is absolutely 1000% plain with no other decorations except perhaps a brooch and/or earrings.

It's a cute outfit, but way too busy and attention-seeking for a professional to wear to the office. Patterned (or fringed?) shoes, patterned stockings, patterned skirt.

Wearing clothes that are (for lack of a better expression) out of your league will make your coworkers wonder if you're the delusional woman who thinks she's way sexier than she is.

The woman who sent the pictures in really does look good in them. However, I also agree with Delta Sierra that in a more formal office, I wouldn't risk it. I'm starting a summer job in the legal field, and would never dream of wearing them to work. I think that they look MORE appropriate when they are of a smaller weave and match the color of your skin.

If anyone in your professional world, male or female, is remotely likely to look at them and think "hunh, fishnets" you made a bad choice. The ones in the photos are unlikely to be 'safe for work' in most serious offices. (Also, when you click on the pix, they do not lead to larger photos, just to a website that when you search on fishnet, nothing comes up.)
