What’s the allure of fishnet clothing?

r/

The first time I saw people wearing fishnets as a fashion statement, it was on a very obnoxious weirdo who also wore mini pants and shaved his head bald. He loved constantly finding people’s boundaries and then subtly crossing and breaking them. Being fashion illiterate I just thought fishnets were ugly to my eyes and the person himself was just someone I should avoid even being seen with, what more associating with

Fast forward decades, and now I realize that quite a lot of women wear fishnets too in private spaces and times. But what’s the appeal though? What are fishnets supposed to do? Does it do anything that other clothes and lingerie can’t do better?? 🤔
