Sartorial mistakes: wearing underwear which can be seen through your clothes.

I'm not talking about a pretty bra under a sheer top. I'm meaning white linen trousers with black pants. Or a very fine beige silk dress with black undewear. It just makes your clothes look cheap and tacky.

And while we're on, will the manufacturers of white trousers please stop making them out of fabric so thin that we can see the pocket linings and seam allowances? Never mind the pants (of whatever colour).

Oh, and to the lady on my train this morning wearing jade green opaque tights and extremely flimsy white shorts? No. That just looks weird. And the olive-green strappy heels didn't help. I don't care that you're on trend, you look barking.

Mind you, she probably thought I looked boring, or hopelessy drab, or uninspired. Each to their own. Baggy grey linen trousers and a white t-shirt over here today (with, since you ask, non-outwardly-visible white underwear).
