Linen trousers for the summer............please discuss.

I love linen trousers for the summer and as a TA at school I think it will be my main uniform.

Now, I usually buy NEXT linen trews but the quality is a bit crap and they always get worn at the crotch bit.

So my question is, if you spend more on linen trews do they last longer?

Am thinking of getting a navy pair and a brown pair and accessorizing.

M&S?
Monsoon?
Tesco?

Where do you get yours from?

TIA

Not knickerless - skin coloured thong!

Why is knickerless eww?

Podrick · 20/03/2009 11:02

Natural vaginal discharge & no knickers just don't seem compatible to me

noddyholder · 20/03/2009 11:09

I think a lot of women go knickerless in the summer

I couldn't teach about Jesus while wearing no knickers, whatever would the virgin Mary think?

see it is so disturbing I had to say it 3 times.

noddyholder · 20/03/2009 11:13

I am an atheist so can probably get away with it

Blackduck · 20/03/2009 11:14

LOL - I love linen trousers (and mine don't wear through) but I wouldn't do white if you PAID me!!

twinsetandpearls · 20/03/2009 11:31

I am a catholic so maybe I could no it but I would have to pull them so they were too tight around my nethers and hurt every time I walked. That way I could deal with the guilt.

BoysAreLikeDogs · 20/03/2009 11:33

No not a thong urrrr

Nudey big pants is the way to go

muffle · 20/03/2009 11:33

And unfettered minge in too-tight linen trousers might not be such a good look...

I couldn't do knickerless either - the answer here is sloggi seamless shorts in flesh-colour - very comfy and no vpl.

noddyholder · 20/03/2009 11:34

I am talking loose linen not fitted calvin klein seamless flesh underwear is the only thing for summer clothes TK MAxx its really cheap

BarefootShirl · 20/03/2009 12:01

I'm in the knickerless camp (most of the month!) - cooler, more comfortable and definitely no VPL - but each to their own

AnyFucker · 20/03/2009 12:13

shirl, fancy you going knickerless !!

I just bought some white linen keks from Miss Selfridge, they are similar to the River Island ones which I usually buy a pair of every couple of years, but a bit thicker

£25

I tend to wear beige with white, not nay as I'm not keen on that false "nautical" look

PheasantPlucker · 20/03/2009 12:17

I have some good black ones from White Stuff, which last really well. Bought a pair in Gap last year, and they were rubbish, felt apart v quickly. Also have a pair from Monsoon which I bought in the sale which are fab.

Podrick · 20/03/2009 12:19

Well perhaps I will experiment with knickerless myself if it is so popular, honestly I thought people only did this if they had no knickers available to wear due to an accident/ bad planning
