What colour chub rub shorts?

I've got dresses with a split, or that don't button all the way to the hem, so occasionally the shorts might show. My current shorts are pale beige. I want to get some more shorts. Should I get the same 'skin-tone', or should I get black, or coloured shorts to match each dress? Would that make a flash of shorts look like part of an outfit and less like granny bloomers?

if there is any risk of a flash then i agree, beige isn't particularly alluring. Black gives you confidence under a short/flippy skirt.

But black limits you a little, as it's no good under pale/white skirts and dresses.

it depends what you tend to wear....

I have some very green ones, I like that they’re not a an underweary colour at all

I colour co-ordinate mine to my dresses.

I've got yellow, pale pink, fuchsia, lilac, teal, pale blue, bright blue, orange.
I think thats all of them.

DM is convinced my shorts are what she calls a "roll on" (girdle), even though I've told her umpteen times that no one wears girdles these days apart from her.
