YouMightKnowMe · 04/06/2010 12:38

title says it all....and none is not an option.

Do I go white?
Skin tone?

Normal briefs or do I have to go for a thong?

Skin tone

Jacksmybaby · 04/06/2010 12:39

Skin tone thong is the only option!

BoysAreLikeDogs · 04/06/2010 12:41

nude

not a thong

AllwaysDoingSomething · 04/06/2010 12:48

nude, pref those seam free ones for a line free look.

jasper · 04/06/2010 12:50

white thong

pookamoo · 04/06/2010 12:52

DH and I always say "pants or no pants" every time we see someone in white linen trousers sorry!

However... I would say nude, and if you do thongs, then a thong, if not, then I suppose it depends on how thin the linen is.

mrsgordonfreeman · 04/06/2010 12:53

No, Jasper, not a white thong, unless you want eveyone to see your pants.

Skin tone pants only. Please.

jasper · 04/06/2010 12:57

fight!

I would wear a white thong or no pants

katiepotatie · 04/06/2010 12:58

Nude big pants here

mrsgordonfreeman · 04/06/2010 13:00

Do you want people to know you have a white thong on?

Then go right ahead

Jacksmybaby · 04/06/2010 13:01

No pants with white linens trousers?!!

Depends on the tightness of the trouser and state / colour of your lady garden I guess .

jasper · 04/06/2010 13:03

Well I was assuming no LG if no pants!

clarebear1 · 04/06/2010 13:04

(looks into her white linen trouser) i have on white frenchies, but i wear long tops that cover my bum.

FickleFairy · 04/06/2010 13:05

Nude Big Pants for definite! Seam free preferably.

mrsgordonfreeman · 04/06/2010 13:10

No pants? What if you get hit by a bus?

DH wears no pants, except when wearing his white linen trousers. He wears pale grey Calvins with those.

BoysAreLikeDogs · 04/06/2010 13:12

ewwwww at DH going commando

think of the poo crumbs

YunoYurbubson · 04/06/2010 13:14

Do not wear white linen trousers.

Hth.

edam · 04/06/2010 13:16

skin tone

tethersend · 04/06/2010 14:59

After following a woman in white linen trousers off the tube and down a loooong tunnel and grappling with myself as to whether or not to tell her she had a massive skidmark up the back, I think Yuno speaks the truth.

Best avoided.

at tethersend's story.

Some of the white/pale linen I have seen is almost transparent. Whatever you wore would be noticeable. And without being tmi about this, surely wearing nothing in the hot weather could be tricky if one thinks about natural secretions and sweat etc.

herjazz · 04/06/2010 15:06

dear lord tethersend!

pretty sure when I've worn white thong with white linen trousers it hasn't been visible. Or that I've shat meself

tethersend · 04/06/2010 15:08

Thing is, what do you do? Should I have told her? Obviously she would have died of shame... but the thought of her getting home, taking them off and then realising... Gah. I did not want to be the one to let her know.

Doyouthinktheysaurus · 04/06/2010 15:09

at skid marks.

Skin tone big pants.

If you wear a thong be very confident that everyone will be watching your bum as you walk along....or is that just me

onepieceoflollipop · 04/06/2010 15:10

If you were feeling brave you could have said very quietly and nicely that she seemed to have sat on some chocolate!

Or perhaps it is best to say nothing, she could persuade herself when she discovered that no one had noticed as they hadn't mentioned it!

BottleOfRum · 04/06/2010 15:11

I'd previously always gone with White french knickers, thinking that although they could be seen, at least people would think "ah, nice pants" if anything. Surely that is preferable to someone noticing the lines of giant nude pants and thinking "ah, ginormous pants".
