At a first glance I personally didn't believe that women of all ages were unaware of which undergarments they should wear with certain ensembles. After 3 hours of "ass watching" in Central Park today I am a believer. Not that there's a such thing as the wrong pair of underwear but there is a such thing as the wrong pair under a certain garment. Here's a few down below appearances we should be mindful of going into the Spring/ Summer seasons:
1. Lace/ Ruffle Trimming: Yes super cute for the bedroom. Super inappropriate underneath of anything silk, spandex, Lycra, or fitted in general. Specifically undergarments such as bodycon skirts/ dresses, pencil skirts, and yoga tights. These garments are made to hug the curves of the body, the last thing you want noticed are the frills of those bedroom panties.
2. White On White: Definitely a rule of thumb never, ever wear white under white. Well unless you want your goodies on front street. Nude or the closest thing to your flesh tone and black should always be your go to. Specifically under thinner materials such as linen.
3. Sundresses: The best throw on and go and yet still be fashionable piece of a Spring/ Summer wardrobe. Another piece that's meant to be more on the form fitted side should definitely not be worn with the granny/ hi rise panties. Contrary to popular belief low rise under wear is not always the best option either. Specially if you're on the cheekier side, the last thing you want to do is purposely give yourself a wedgie. If you're one of those women who don't mind a little giggle; I'd recommend a g-string. Seamless underwear work well under sundresses as well if g-strings aren't really your thing.
4. Leggings: Unless you're paying top dollar at LuluLemon or any other yoga brand 9 times out of 10 your leggings can be seen through. Forever 21 and H&M leggings are the biggest culprits of this; no matter the color. I would highly suggest a solid hipster panty under leggings. Whatever you do, do not wear zebra or lepoard print for every one to see.
5. The Low Rise: Unfortunately this panty is not for every one. As cute as the 5 for $27 variety at Victoria Secret may be you definitely should be mindful of your body type before purchasing. Low rise panties are the most visible in jeans. If you bend over to pick up something and the top half of your behind is out of not only the under wear but the jeans as well, chances are low rise panties aren't for you.
