What Type of Panty Should You Wear Under Tights?
Tights are one of the most effortless yet trickiest styles of chic clothing. Workout tights are typically made from seamless fabric that hugs the body like a second skin. While this super-soft fabric is undoubtedly very comfortable, it can also land you in some embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions. Visible panty lines are common under these fitted tights or leggings; they can look awfully disgraceful and spoil your entire look.
Picking the right panty style to wear under tights can prevent you from this fashion faux pas. Panties with thick elastic around the leg openings might not cause any visible panty line under heavier fabrics like denim or corduroy, but they can become noticeable under sleek, figure-hugging fabrics like polyamide and spandex.
To help you maintain that flawless look let’s check out these panty styles that work best under active tights.
Seamless Panty
When it comes to this panty style, you’ll mainly find it in two types – Laser-cut and bonded. Laser-cut has super-smooth edges that almost disappear under your fitted tights. The edges are designed with silicon strips on the inner side, which cling gently to your skin, ensuring a flawless, sleek finish under body-hugging outfits.
On the other hand, bonded panties are designed by fusing two layers of fabric together, creating a seamless and sleek look devoid of any bulky seams or stitching. These are ideal for everyday wear and come in all your favourite fits- bikinis, hipster & thongs.
Thongs
If you are someone who likes perfection, then do it how the professionals do. Go for thongs. A thong has a triangular piece of fabric in the front and a thin strap in the back which sits between your butt cheeks, thus giving you a barely-there look and feel. Pick a nude colour thong for your light-coloured leggings and black for darker ones. With things, you can easily achieve that flawlessly smooth look without any trace of those unsightly visible panty lines.
Boyshorts
If thongs aren’t your thing, then go for an alternative—boyshorts. Inspired by men’s boxer briefs, boyshorts are the modest and much more comfortable alternative to thongs and regular panties. Their full-coverage trait, both in front and the back, makes it a hit among ladies.
Sitting slightly low on the waistline, boyshorts beautifully accentuate your natural curves, while their leg openings typically rest just below the widest part of the hip or slightly above the mid-thigh. This design ensures a flawless, no-visible panty line look, and provides added comfort by absorbing moisture where your thighs meet each other.
