Aside from the obvious caution with trying to avoid wayward marking, there's also a tendency to feel a little more ‘exposed’ in white legwear.

It somehow feels 'safer' to lean towards darker shades – after all, they’re perceived to be more slimming aren’t they? But is that really true? Not always...

Without exception, the secret to achieving your most flattering look is getting the sizing and thus the fit, right for the style you want.

For the majority of us, a less fitted style is generally more flattering when it comes to wearing white legwear. However, if fitted is your style of choice then going up a size will still give you the slim-fit look you desire without the tell-tale clinginess that we’d rather avoid.

The other consideration of course, lies beneath the surface - let's talk underwear. Designed to be worn and not seen, the worry with white could be that of show-through.

But there's good news here - overall the fabric that the golf brands are now using have a thicker weave. And with various tailoring tricks, such as nude coloured pocket linings being more widely tailored into the designs, then our worries about show-through are significantly reduced.
