Things Your Mother Should've Told You, Young Girl @ Bus Stop: 101

NEVER wear gaily coloured, floral- or Disney-printed, full-coverage granny knickers under white trousers of any description. NEVER.

ALWAYS shave your underarms if there is even the remotest chance that they might come into public view. ALWAYS.

Yikes... it's bad enough that people wear white under white, but printed? Is that supposed to be a style statement of some kind?

Wow! Did you get laid off or something? So many posts, it's like a blog here!
G: It has to be white under white (underwear-wise). Anything else is trashy. What would you suggest?

ET: Oh no no... NEVER white under white; it still shows. It's nude (as in the color) under white. It doesn't have to be a perfect match to your skin color, anything in the vicinity will work.

Too right, Ajith; too darn right!

@G & educated tatya - Yes darling ET, NEVER white under white. The key is, as G says, your skin colour or as close as is possible. Trouble is, what are marketed as "skin"-coloured undies are the colour you'd get if you crossed a Mongolian with a South American - to quote my father-in-law, 'yellowish beige'. So, until they make chuddies in my skin colour, black it will be.

F: Mongolian crossed with South American - LOL!

I have to disagree with this. Any other colour shows through the white, so it doesn't look bright white. Especially if it's a pink or red, it looks like discoloration in the boob area. Especially while wear something like a kurta (slightly transparent), I prefer a white bra. I blame this on the Indian sun. Things are brighter here. I think beige just makes the whites a little pheeka.
