As someone that lived through the 80's Ive begun to see this again and I cant emphasize enough that LEGGINGS ARE NOT PANTS LADIES. :p

I consider them a substitute for tights in most cases or perhaps worn under a long tunic-length top only if the leggings are very opaque / completely non-transparent. It is crazy what you see these days. My personal most hated fashion trend is wearing visible bra straps such as with a tank top with a y-shaped back. A bra is meant as an undergarment. I think an exception might be the ones you can buy now with clear plastic straps.



There is a site called "Cents of Style" with a section: <a href="http://www.centsofstyle.com/?cat=8">"Uh... Don't Do That"</a> that covers such fashion faux-pas. It is fun to look at.
 
[quote author="Astute Observer" date=1224727995]Part of this is related to modesty, I guess. However, I always wonder what is the best way to get rid of panty lines? I brought some undergarments from Victoria's Secret a while ago that claims to have invisible panty lines, but they still shows up. Does it really that bad to have panty lines, or everyone wants to looks like they are going commando? Isn't that kind of contradict good taste with modesty? (that is, no panty line-> commando -> not modest?)</blockquote>


My experience is that seamless underwear usually work. Im sure you're fine, dont over think it. :)

You can wear one of two things to get rid of VPL (Visible Panty Lines). You can wear thong underwear or you can wear <a href="http://www.spanx.com/home/index.jsp">Spanx.</a> (But I thought you were a guy??... well, same rule would apply nonetheless.)

I can't imagine anything less comfortable than to have something creeping up my crack.



And with that, I'll shut up. It's just not a pretty thing.

that HAS to be Kim Kardashian. Its not her bottom so much as is it the ill fitting bra and backfat thats not working in that pic. Meow
 
I remember when leggings and stretch pants were popular in the 80s. The fad took over for a while. Like all fads of female fashion, once those whose shapes are not flattering for the garment begin to wear them, the appeal drops very quickly.

If the thong fits properly, you shouldn't feel it. I utilize them often as I'm more mortified by a VPL than I am by any minor lack of comfort. I can't, however, sleep in one.
