The Alluring History of Fishnets

<p>The true origin of fishnet stockings or pantyhose is hard to pinpoint. The earliest mention of &ldquo;fishnet clothing&rdquo; actually goes back to one of Aesop&rsquo;s Fables in the early 1900s, &ldquo;The Peasant&rsquo;s Wise Daughter&rdquo;. In the story the king tells a peasant&rsquo;s daughter that if she can solve his riddle, he will marry her. He challenges her to &ldquo;Come to me not clothed, not naked, not riding&hellip;&rdquo; and she solves the riddle by wrapping herself in a fisherman&rsquo;s net. This idea has been a major factory in the appeal of fishnets. Philosopher Roland Barthes writes in his 1973 essay,&nbsp;<em>The Pleasure of the Text</em>, about the eroticism of the interplay of seen and unseen that fishnets embody. Not to mention the grid afforded by netted clothing like fishnets does a good job at emphasizing curves and musculature on one&rsquo;s body.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/this-tailored-life/the-alluring-history-of-fishnets-5d92da9e6407"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
