Visible Panty Lines - VPL's.

VPL's


“A woman’s dress should be like barbed-wire fence: serving it's  purpose without obstructing the view".

 Fashion is a science of appearances, and we believe in the popular saying 'you are addressed the way you are dressed'.
However there's a crazy faux pas that has infected the streets of fashion and that error is what I have put in the acronym VPL.


What are VPL's?

A Visible Panty Line (VPL) is a situation were the outline of a person's underwear is visible through the clothing . The underpants may be seen as a ridge or depression in the clothes, or as a result of the clothing material being sufficiently clingy or transparent.




As lawyers in equity we are expected to look smart and charming each day of our lives and since we've been designated to wear skirts for the time being [for the women], It is appalling that this error can still be found amongst us - from the fresh 100level student to the sophisticated 500level lady. 
I've seen huge 'V' cuts on skirts of many females in the Faculty smacking their butts left and right carrying visible panty lines up and down the LT's like it's some trophy won through hard work... Please it's not a sight for healthy eyes let alone sore ones.

Visible panty line is caused mainly by too tight pants or oversized ones.

Wearing clingy or tight clothes can also show your panty lines. [Special shout out to the "bodycon sisters", greetings to the sisters who live for leggings and short tops, "aunty low waist jeans" we don't like the waist band of your pants even if it's black lace, and Miss 'see-through gown' we equally hail thee].


Wearing loose pants can create divisions on clothes It would be better to leave divisions to the police force.


ELIMINATION OF VPL's

The first step in eliminating VPL's is to purchase panties that fit!

Whenever we wear too tight panties they will dig in to your skin and cause unsightly panty lines.

In same vein , if you choose underwear that is too loose, it can easily wrinkle up inside your clothes, showing wrinkles and bumps.

Now, how do you know you're wearing too tight pants? 

If the elastic is cutting into your skin and feels restrictive, then your underwear is too tight.

If there is any excess fabric hanging down or you feel like your underwear isn't supporting your butt at all, it's probably too big.


- Wear G-strings/Thongs

Thongs don’t have the lines to show, making them the ideal panty line-free choice. While they may not be the most comfortable underwear, they are a good option when you are wearing especially tight clothing, for example, bodycon.


Be sure to check out the rear view when you sit or squat, as these positions tend to expose part of the thong, if you’re wearing low-cut denims or plain trousers.
If you're concerned about your thong showing when you squat, be sure to wear high-waisted trousers and skirts or shirts that extend lower than the waistline of your bottoms.

G-strings have even less fabric than cotton panties, so they're the best choice for minimizing panty lines.


Keep in mind that thongs are much less comfortable if they are too tight, so get one that fits properly.

For those who hate thongs, there is another alternative!


Boy Shorts provide full coverage, and because they do not cut across your butt, they offer a much more hot and Slim feel than most bikini-style underwear. You need to be more cautious with boy shorts than you do with thongs because they do not completely eliminate the possibility of a visible panty line. It's best to test them out with your favourite pair of form-fitting pants. You can find boy shorts in many different materials. Choose one that you find comfortable and that has invisible or very minimal seams.

Also make sure your boy shorts fit snugly, but doesn't cut into your skin.

It doesn't hurt to match your underwear.
Match your underwear underwear blends in with your skin, leaving invisible panty lines, even if your pants are a bit see-through.
to your skin tone when wearing light-coloured clothing. Flesh-coloured



Going commando is the best way for those comfortable with not wearing pants. Always wear underwear with skirts and dresses when going commando to prevent infections.
And to go commando means to not wear any underwear.

If you're going without underwear, avoid denims as they can cause great discomfort.

If you feel uncomfortable going commando you can also go for a pair of TIGHTS. Remember boarding school year?


Tights are awesome, they give that sleek and taut figure every chic wants and guess what; they also help tuck in your belly fat giving you that smooth look you deserve. The choice is up to you.


[You can buy high-waisted styles if you want some coverage over your stomach]


When you are in clothes that are even remotely see-through, avoid wearing white panties as white panties are common culprits, so always make sure you can't see your underwear through them before you wear them.


Please save yourself the embarrassment and hide your panty line there's a reason why it's called 'Underwear'...


I know the males would have their judgmental faces on right now but sorry don't be in a haste to judge. You guys are equally culprits too. #topicforanotherday.


Finally I like fashion to go down to the street, but I can’t accept that it should originate there.
We're learned people, we should be trend setters and not copiers.
