Why to wear NUDE underwear in the summer

I love wearing summer whites in the summer.  LOVE.

My first true exposure to summer whites came when I was working for Donna Karan in NYC in August of 2000.  I’ll never forget seeing the sea of summer white clothing in and out of the offices.  I remember joking with one of Donna’s other assistant’s in saying, “I thought everyone wore black in NYC?” She simply replied, “Oh, not in the summer.”

There were white gauzy skirts.  There were beautiful white dresses and shorts.  There were tons of white tanks and tees, crisp ultra-white ones. There were white blouses and tunics.  It truly was a sea of whites that summer for me at Donna Karan, especially from Donna herself.

I got into the spirit.  And quickly.

I still remember this to a “T”… I went to Old Navy and bought a pair of white capris.  I had never owned a pair in my life, but wanted to blend into my office and this new world of fashion, so I dove right in!  I wore them the next day to work with white underwear underneath them, I mean… what else, right?  (And yes, I did have a shirt on, too.)  All you could see were panty lines with the white underwear, it was like a red target, so see-thru and so obvious.

That’s when I got a piece a fashionable piece of advice that I will never forget.

WEAR NUDE UNDERWEAR with WHITE… you’ll never get lines.

And it’s true… oh, so true!

So when you’re taking out your summer whites over the next few weeks, make sure you pair them on up with nude underwear … works like a charm!  No lines!
