Thong underwear with see-through white pants and skirts: Yea or nay?
I was in the city today and must say I was a little taken aback by this trend. Even older women are doing it.

How long has this been going on? I don't like panty lines, but when you're wearing shear white pants or gauzy skirt, shouldn't there something more there than the top of your thong?

Am I getting old and prudish? I just seems kind of wrong to me.

4. It looks trashy...
There, I said it.

Why is the idea that someone can tell you have on underwear the most horrible thing in the world to some people???

6. My babysitter (in the 70s) used to wear
see-through polyester pants w/no panties. We called her "the Bermuda Triangle". :rofl:

....call me a perv if you must.

13. those who could actually pull that look off-don`t

15. Actually, most of those doing it had business doing it
Another thing in bearing the belly with low-rise pants. If you've got a bit of pudge, better to opt for a longer shirt that let everyone see it spill out of your pants.

18. Youch!! I live in a college town. Mixed feelings...
I rather like ogling the 20 somethings putting it out there but I get concerned when I see high school girls following suit. Parents need to exert some control or they'll be grandparents soon.

20. I hate the pirate patch
It is almost as bad as a visible cameltoe.

21. Is that what it's called?
There was this one woman who was too big to carry off the look, or perhaps just needed a larger size, but she had BOTH the pirate patch and camel toe. I'm thinking that was a definite Glamor don't.

28. not sure if it is a trend...
I am the "commando" type but I do wear a thong if I have white pants or clothing you can see through.

Why does it matter what someone is wearing?

36. In the grand scheme of things
of course it doesn't really "matter." It was just something I noticed that I hadn't seen before, so I posted the question.

You could run around buck naked for all I care and all that it really matters.

33. I'm all for it....PROVIDED.....
...you don't look silly. Think Barbara Bush wearing that ensemble. That's silly. Woman with a taut, muscley pair of buns or a round firm bootie...Oh, Yeah!

What I've seen down here is see-through white pants with "RealTree" camo boy shorts underneath...

35. I have noticed a lot of dark bras under white/light colored tops
If I didn't know better, I'd say it's almost like the woman is trying to call attention to her chest.

Haven't noticed the thong with see through pants yet, though. I've seen a few pants that don't leave much to the imagination in that you can clearly tell the woman is wearing a thong...

37. This is mostly speculation on my part
As I tend not to walk round in white linen skirts (being a man and all). The fabric used is light and ideal for warm weather, but has the draw-back of being somewhat see-though.

Given that, it follows that any underwear worn will be visible.

A thong has less material - and is therefore less visible - and therefore preferable.

Maybe it's just me, but I think that non-thong knickers are more 'in your face' and as such is worse (more trashy if you wish to use that term).

The very worst that I have seen was a man - he was wearing linen trousers with dark-blue or black boxer shorts underneath. It was just so totally obvious, and looked pretty damn ridiculous - hint hint chaps, if your trousers are at all see-though then wear white boxers. :banghead:
