In the field of textiles, fishnet is a material with an open, diamond shaped knit. Fishnet is most often used as a material for stockings, tights or bodystockings. Fishnet is available in a multitude of colors, though most often sported in traditional matte black. Fishnet is commonly worn on the legs and arms by practitioners of goth and punk fashion, but is also commonly worn in mainstream as a fashion statement. It is generally considered to be a sexy garment, and may be a component of sexual fetishism. Fishnets are used mostly as a sort of undergarment, it defines curves by sticking close to the body, generally making the wearer look more muscularly defined.

- Morris Day recorded the song "Fishnet" from the album Daydream in 1987. The song had airplay on several urban stations and ultimately reached #23 on the bilboard charts during 1988. However, the title and/or content of the song made airplay very limited in some cities. The song was remixed for a Club mix album in 1994, and Morris added a live version to his, "It's About Time"
