You must be thinking what on earth is a VPL. Well, it’s every woman’s worst enemy… And some men relate to that too. A VPL (Visible Panty Line) is a big BIG image breaker. It ruins your entire look. Your favourite white pants look like a disaster and your butt doesn’t look as shapely as it should.

So, here are a few pointers to keep in mind before you decide to wear that pencil skirt or fitted dress :

– underwear should fit properly and not be too tight for your size as that can look terrible.

– boy shorts work well for many people. It provides full coverage and gives a smooth look.

– for a roundish figure and to conceal the love handles, high waist numbers work best. Make sure the panty fits just right so that it’s not too tight neither is it too loose.

– Choose the right fabric! It is important to be as comfortable as you wish but it is also important to take care of your dressing to look and feel confident. Fabrics like spandex and elastic don’t always work but there are seamless panties available in various blends that fit the bill. Cotton being the most comfortable and safest, is definitely a must have in everyone’s wardrobe but doesn’t always look good when the fitted clothes are worn. Cotton is usually worn with regular fitting and loose clothes, for example, linen pants or palazzos.

– choose the right colour depending on your outfit. For example, if you are wearing white or peach, don’t act bold and go for a contrast colour inside. Your idea of being elegant goes right down the dirty drain. It’s always advisable to match your inners with your skin tone when wearing light colours.

– wearing a thong is the safest way to avoid VPLs but also not very comfortable for many women.

– another alternative could be wearing a body suit or a “tummy tucker” as we call it to avoid not only the VPL but also the unwanted bulges. Yes, why do you think some of the celebrities look so slick in their fitted gowns? You just got your answer if you didn’t know that all this while.

A tummy tucker starts from the higher waist right till the thighs depending on your requirement 🙂

– always try on your fitted clothes before buying them. See if you are comfortable with the choice of your inner wear. It’s not a very nice feeling to wear something that doesn’t enhance your image.
