This summer I have seen far too many people who haven't done this...with disastrous results. Summer is a time for wearing white. White is often see-through. The answer to this is NOT to wear white underpants with your white dress/skirt/pants. The answer is to wear nude underpants. I don't want to see your underpants. And in most cases, NOBODY wants to see your underpants.
The see-through pants showing off your undies syndrome is, sadly, not the province only of women. I SWEAR TO GOD, I saw a nice young man on the way to work a month ago suffering from the same condition.
While I am not usually prone to checking men's butts on my way to work, I did notice that the young man in question appeared to have stains on his khaki trousers. "Oh. Bummer" I thought to myself. Then I noticed that there seemed to be several stains at regular intervals and they were more or less flower-shaped. "Holy cow," I thought to myself. "Those aren't stains, those are his flowered boxers showing through his khakis!" And they were. I didn't even know they made khakis that see-through. And clearly, neither did he.
Now, see-throughness is not the only reason to check your rear view. While staring out the window, enjoying the parade of passers-by in San Francisco a few weeks ago, I saw a young woman go by in a dress that really should be classified as a top. But that wasn't her most serious fashion infraction. The back of her dress had gotten caught on the lining of her leather jacket and she was showing her hot pink underpants to everyone behind her. Lovely. I'm just glad she wasn't wearing a thong.
So. Walk over to the mirror. Turn around. Look over your shoulder. Some day, you'll thank me.
