SUCH VERY BAD NEWS

The thick fantasy panty is back

And I actually like it too. Let me just go ahead and bare it all. I have written quite a bit about pantyhose. That I think they actually shouldn't exist. Unless they are very thick. Or have a fishnet pattern. But otherwise, not really. No, not even that skin-colored panty that you really can't see which everyone always brings up when I've written a piece like this. Not that one either. Because I can see it. And if you can't see it, why would you wear one? Just use a good foundation for your legs. That also covers up veins or other things you don't want to share with humanity right away.

After the skin-colored panty came the boring 15 denier panty, also known as the do-nothing panty. Such a gray boring thing that is definitely attached to a straightforward skirt that ends somewhere between mid-thigh and just above the knee, topped with a colorless blazer. Such a panty that rips when you quickly go to the bathroom, such a panty that does absolutely nothing for you. That kind.

“And now Karl Lagerfeld has breathed new life into the thick lace panty”

And then there was the fantasy panty. The worst of all pantyhose. The polka dots, the seam at the back of your leg... Or, the absolute worst, the bow at your Achilles heel. But nothing is more changeable than humans and few are more opportunistic than fashion people, so when Joss suddenly walked onto our floor in such a cute short pair of shorts with a polka dot panty underneath, I was sold.

And now Karl Lagerfeld has breathed new life into the thick lace panty. And as if the shock wasn't big enough, the fashion emperor wishes that we wear a shoe with an open heel underneath it. Double getting used to, but I think it's beautiful...
