How to avoid a VPL
A visible panty line (VPL) can distract from the smooth finish of fitted clothing, especially under bodycon dresses, tailored trousers and lightweight fabrics. The key to avoiding VPL is choosing the right combination of cut and fabric weight. No VPL knickers are designed to sit smoothly against the body, with lightweight fabrics and carefully considered cuts that minimise visible lines under clothing.
The best style depends on what you're wearing. If you're reaching for a bodycon dress or fitted skirt and want maximum coverage, a brief offers a smooth, comfortable fit without compromising on invisibility. For fitted trousers, pencil skirts and dresses, high-waisted styles provide additional coverage and a streamlined silhouette. If you're wearing particularly figure-hugging clothing and want the cleanest back line possible, a thong is often the best choice.
Colour matters too. Under sheer fabrics, white trousers or light-coloured dresses, nude shades are the most discreet option. Unlike white underwear, nude tones sit closer to your skin tone and are less likely to show through. Explore our nude lingerie collection for styles designed to disappear beneath lighter fabrics.
No VPL knickers for every outfit
The right no VPL knickers can help create a smooth finish under almost any outfit. For bodycon dresses, high-waisted styles offer full coverage and a streamlined look. Under tailored trousers, a brief or high-waisted style helps maintain a smooth silhouette without visible lines. Leggings pair well with either a thong for minimal visibility or a brief if you prefer additional coverage.
If you're wearing sheer fabrics or light-coloured clothing, choosing a nude shade can make all the difference. Nude tones blend more naturally with your skin tone, helping your underwear stay invisible beneath lightweight materials. Browse all of our all knickers collection to find the right fit for every outfit. For a fully discreet foundation under fitted clothing, you can also pair your look with seamless knickers and coordinating seamless underwear.
