I am chronically single and will be out on the toon (Newcastle) with my girls tomorrow. Does anyone think these shorts would look good (yes I will be cold) and maybe how I could style them. Thank you!s

Honestly, anything tight or clingy. Bodycon midi dresses, silky dresses, thinner leggings, jumpsuits... Then I got pregnant and bought loads of seamless full briefs for maternity leggings.

Stylish?! They are the absolute opposite. I mean, wear them if that’s your thing but stylish they are not.

I am a bit worried about the VPL given how fitted mine are!

Why would you be wearing undies?

Fair play to you if you wear those, I can feel a yeast infection coming on just looking at them

This one’s quite good for a Friday. Quite early to be on the sherry though Grin

So are you just wanting to talk about your underwear?

titchy · 13/02/2026 20:49

Tbh I’d be more worried if you pull - you’ll stink to high heaven IYKWIM…

Yeah, I’m with you on that. I think chat about chafing is the usually the domain of those with hairy hands

The seamless pants from M&S don’t ride up at all. You’ll definitely not stand out in those shorts, you might if you wore a tea dress. I think a baggy sweater would work with these shorts.

MiddleAgedDread · 13/02/2026 20:54

jessb21 · 13/02/2026 20:33

Like the shorts picture I showed? Or more all out than that!

If your arse cheeks aren’t hanging out you’re over dressed!!
you know that saying about tits or legs…..it doesn’t apply in Newcastle, the more you have out the better!!
it also doesn’t matter how cold it is, coats are definitely for wimps.

AlbieJiggered · 13/02/2026 20:54

Perfect outfit for Galentines, @jessb21 . Go commando to avoid VPL.

Can you send me a link to them. With the shorts on and how fitted these are I feel like they might but I have no choice now!
