Public service announcement...

Dear Trixies and wannabe-Trixies,

I understand that one of this year's spring/summer trends is white pants. I don't hate it and have seen it work out splendidly (on strangers and on a friend). However, I think at least three rules should ALWAYS be followed:
  1. The pants cannot be skin tight. They can't even be stretched tight over your ass. Because then we can all see your skin underneath. And that is gross.
  2. They cannot be thin. Because even if #1 is followed closely, if the pants are thin, we still end up being able to see skin.
  3. You cannot wear black (or even any color) underwear with them. Worse, you cannot wear a black thong. The black thong is sort of like you understood that the panty line was awful and then forgot that your pants are white and a black thong under white pants is like a beacon to poor onlookers eyes. Heinous.
Love,
Katie


PS - please note that I eschew all rules when it comes to underwear lines in pants, since i refuse to wear a thong and going commando makes me feel all icky inside. Today I even had a very visible undie line. Sometimes I get all self-conscious
about it, but I always leave the house anyway. It's only in my work pants...plus, I feel like if a guy were to notice it and care, he can go put on a thong and then see if he'll be complaining anymore.

  1. A black thong in white pants?! That gets a HUGE thumbs down.

  2. You've taken a huge step: you referred to the male sex as "guy" instead of your usual "boy."

    We're all proud of you!

  3. You should try "boy-cut" underwear. It's really comfy and doesn't make a line. M

  4. Why is it so important to hide the line? if you can't see the line, it looks like you are not wearing any! what do you care what people think. If you don't want VPL, don't wear tight fitting clothing, or, so i have been told, wear pattern to hide the lines. what do i know, i'm a guy....lol
