If you want your legs to look long pair tights with matching coloured heels. For thick opaques, wool and ribbed tights, chunky heeled shoes and boots look best. Team sheer tights with dainty shoes and sandals and lurex tights with shoes of the same colour with a matt finish or play it safe with black. Both platforms and ballet pumps are an ideal match with patterned or brightly coloured tights.
Pumps, high heels, open air sandals and boots serves as the best choice, when you are keen on flaunting your tights.

A fun approach to working with basics is to vary the textures in your outfit. So if wearing plain from top to toe leaves you cold, experiment with a mix-media combo such as croc/snake handbag to go with your jersey dress and patent pumps.
Fishnet stockings or tights are not the easiest of looks to pull off and still look like a lady. To make fishnets appear more elegant, here are a few suggestions.
Wear fishnets only if you like them. There is little point forcing yourself to wear a fashion item you can't stand, as you simply won't carry it off while worrying about it!
Wear the right clothing. Fishnets paired with a miniand high heels are suggestive of quite the opposite of ladylike clothing. Instead, wear your fishnets with a skirt that sits just above the knee. A skirt that is longer is also fine.
Keep the rest of your clothing simple. Avoid patterns or prints that compete with the fishnets and let the fishnets be the interesting fashion statement only. Wear tailored shirts, bespoke jackets, and neat clothing as a whole. Keep the makeup toned right down, and the accessories and jewelry likewise. Pearls work well as elegant understatement jewelery.

Consider wearing fishnets that have finer mesh. These will appear less "racy" and more toned down than wider meshed fishnets.The smaller the diamond shapes, the better the look and the easier it is to suggest sophistication.

Wear appropriately colored fishnets. Stick with black, brown, or nude for daywear.
Wear closed toe shoes. Avoid anything open-toed as it looks messy. Boots are also a fine option; indeed a knee-length dress or skirt with knee-high boots and a touch of fishnet in between can be very ladylike provided the clothing is good quality.
Wear solid tights underneath fishnets. Choose an interesting color for the tights, and make it bright for extreme contrast (providing it matches the rest of your outfit). For day wear, choose office-acceptable colors like navy blue and dark green; for the evening, be more daring, especially when coupling the tights and fishnet combination with the little black dress.
