Adult underwear today comes in all colors and patterns under the sun, with the most popular color being solid white.

If you generally wear thicker, darks pants fabrics, such as denim, dark fannels, or cavalry twill the color or pattern of your underwear will not show through and you can wear whatever you want.

However, during the summer, when you wear lightweight pants such as cotton,seersucker or fine worsteds in light colors, you can see strong underwear patterns through your trousers. In that case, you want a pair of underwear in solid tones that is as close to your skin tone as possible. Solid white, shows unde a white pair of pants because it is contrasting to your skincolor. So if you have lighter skin, you can take a white pair of cotton underwear and soak it in black tea thus giving it a nude-colored look.

Alternatively, you can look for nude underwear, but they are often hard to find. Instead go with a shade of solid or heather grey that is as close to your skintone as possible. The less contrast between your underwear and your skintone, the less you will be able to see your underwear through your pants.

Children's underwear should be light colored, environmentally friendly materials.
