Just received some trousers which feel really comfortable and slouchy but was wearing purple pants at the time and looked ridiculous. Is there a general brand or type of pants which are known to work well for this material? I'm not going to bother keeping them if my underwear is going to be on show Confused

Thanks for all the pant suggestions, I will get on it! The trousers are these ones shop.mango.com/gb/women/trousers-straight/straight-linen-blend-trousers_43047706.html?c=02&n=1&s=prendas_she.familia;26,326,22,322 though I’m sure I only paid around £20. I find them very comfortable. Probably the drawstring Grin

They look really nice. Nothing wrong with a drawstring waist Grin

@Tawdrylocalbrouhaha it's true I have 2 red bras that I wear under a white shirt & cant see either of them.

That's so weird! I must try it, because I hate bandage coloured undies.

I don't have a red bra, but am now very tempted to go and buy one to test the red under white theory out.........

Rooftree · 06/06/2019 12:16

It’s not weird when you think about it though, white on top of red will make a very pale pink that will be similar to skin tone. It doesn’t really work on very thin or sheet white though. Nude underwear is the only way then

I tried it last night. Red worked but hot pink didn't.

No to thongs! In sunlight your bum cheeks will show! Try seemless shorties in nude or peach, even red. Make your underwear here, if it does show up like a fashion statement which was planned.

Yes to the nude colour no vpl shorts - so comfy and no show. I get mine in M and S. I remember watching Got Wan ears ago saying that all of the models wear nude for catwalk shows as they can then wear any colour on top - I never knew this until then, now all my underwear is nude.

But I might try the red to see if it works!!!

Also, has anyone noticed the ads that run on the top of the page when you click on a style thread - I now have white trousers and white bras on the top of my page!!!

I love my red undies. Where as if red knix or a red bra under something looks like a definite fashion statement in the event it does show, so calked “nude”, beige, “cardboard”, just looks as if you couldn’t be bothered.
